The National Weather Service has issued an updated beach hazards statement for Coastal North Bay, encompassing areas like Point Reyes and the San Francisco Peninsula. The alert, effective from April 6 until April 7, warns of a moderate period of northwesterly swell that could lead to increased risks of sneaker waves and rip currents. These waves can suddenly surge further up beaches, posing danger to beachgoers. People are advised to stay out of the water due to hazardous conditions, as stronger currents and debris may be present.
A moderate period northwesterly swell will result in an increased risk for sneaker waves and rip currents, impacting areas like Point Reyes and the San Francisco Peninsula.
Sneaker waves can unexpectedly run significantly farther up the beach than normal, including over rocks and jetties, posing serious risks to beachgoers.
These waves can quickly knock people off their feet and pull them into the cold ocean, where currents will be stronger than normal. Stay out of the water.
The National Weather Service warns that these waves can carry driftwood logs and debris, making swimming conditions hazardous through Monday evening.
