The search was called off around 7 p.m. due to darkness and was scheduled to resume Sunday morning. The missing man was wearing a white turban, black shorts, black shirt and a black vest."
"The National Weather Service warned that waves between 13 and 18 feet were expected at Big Sur and Monterey beaches through Monday night, and cautioned beachgoers to stay off rocks and away from the water's edge. "Sneaker waves can unexpectedly run significantly farther up the beach than normal, including over rocks and jetties," the weather service advised. "Rip currents are typically more frequent and stronger in the vicinity of jetties, inlets, and piers.""
