**HIGH SURF ADVISORY**
- The National Weather Service has issued a High Surf Advisory, which is in effect from 7 PM Tuesday to 3 PM Wednesday.
- -Northwest swells 17 to 20 feet at 15 to 16 second periods. Breakers of 22 to 27 feet possible.
- -Large breaking waves along the coast will lead to increased wave run-up on beaches with waves topping and washing over large rocks and jetties. Use extra caution near the surf zone as these large waves will be capable of sweeping people into the frigid and turbulent ocean water. Coldwater shock may cause cardiac arrest, and it also can cause an involuntary gasp reflex causing drowning, even for a good swimmer. The surf zone will be dangerous due to strong currents and powerful breaking waves.
Extended: Scattered rain and thunderstorm chances will continue through Thanksgiving and even Friday. Temperatures will also take a hit with most spots only in the 50s. Another rain system by the impact the Central Coast next weekend, so stay tuned.
