Beach Hazards Statement issued November 20 at 2:07PM PST until November 22 at 6:00AM PST by NWS San Francisco CA

* WHAT…A moderate period northwest swell will result in a more
energetic surf zone and an increased risk of sneaker waves and
rip currents. Breaking waves of 10 to 13 ft are expected with
some potential for breaking waves up to 15 ft to develop.

* WHERE…Northern Monterey Bay County.

* WHEN…Through late Thursday night.

* IMPACTS…Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions. Large
waves can sweep across the beach without warning, pulling
people into the sea from rocks, jetties, and beaches. Sudden
immersion in cold water can result in cold water shock even
for the most experienced swimmers. Cold water shock can result
in dramatic changes in breathing, heart rate and blood
pressure, greatly increasing the risk of drowning in rough
open waters.
Remain out of the water to avoid hazardous swimming conditions.
