Beach Hazards Statement issued November 21 at 2:55AM 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.
