The High Surf Advisory warns against swimming in extreme conditions, as safety is crucial when faced with powerful waves and treacherous ocean conditions.
Fire department officials emphasize that with waves breaking between 15 to 25 feet, it's best to stay away from the waterline to avoid danger.
Despite warnings, some thrill-seekers brave the cold waters, but experts stress observing the ocean's power from a distance is the safest choice.
Recent incidents, including the Santa Cruz Wharf collapse, highlight the unpredictable nature of ocean waves, reinforcing the necessity for public safety measures during high surf.
