An updated beach hazards statement affecting Coastal North Bay, including Point Reyes and the Monterey Bay area, warns beachgoers of safety risks from sneaker waves and rip currents. These dangerous waves, issuing from a moderate period of northwesterly swell, can reach precariously farther up the shoreline, potentially sweeping people into the ocean. The public is advised to refrain from entering the water, as strong currents and underwater debris pose serious drowning risks. The advisory from the National Weather Service highlights the necessity of maintaining vigilance and safety around beaches until the advisory period ends on March 25.
