The National Weather Service has issued a warning for the Coastal North Bay area, highlighting a significant risk for sneaker waves and rip currents due to a northwesterly swell.
"As we have experienced the past couple of winters, it is likely that we will have multiple storm events where we're going to have overtopping, where we're going to have flooding and we will need to probably temporarily close for public safety some of the facilities there," said State Parks Santa Cruz District Superintendent Chris Spohrer at the Sept. 26 meeting.
