"Look at the ominous wave action on the horizon," National Weather Service Bay Area posted on X. "You are risking your life, and those of the people that would need to try and save you by getting in or too close to the water."
Eyewitnesses shared videos and photos of the scene. Roger Bernstein took footage from the shore. "The video is ... wharf debris floating into the bay and getting pummeled by the surf," he told the Sacramento Bee in a text.
The Santa Cruz Fire Department said the municipal wharf is closed until further notice. Authorities issued a coastal flood warning and high surf advisory, which were still in effect for the region as of Monday afternoon.
Gov. Gavin Newsom was briefed on the collapse and the California Office of Emergency Services was coordinating support with local officials.
