Beach hazards statement for Bay Area Shorelines until Monday night, risk of sneaker waves
Briefly

The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a beach hazards statement for Coastal North Bay, including areas like Point Reyes National Seashore and the San Francisco Peninsula. This advisory, effective until 11 p.m., warns of moderate northwesterly swells that entail higher risks of sneaker waves and rip currents. Sneaker waves can unexpectedly reach far up beaches and over jetties, potentially knocking individuals off their feet and drawing them into the colder ocean with heightened currents. Beachgoers are advised to stay out of the water to prevent dangerous swimming situations.
