... High surf advisory remains in effect until 4 PM PST Friday...
A high surf advisory remains in effect until 4 PM PST Friday.
Long period swells will continue to impact the coast tonight through Friday afternoon. Breaking waves of 20 to 25 feet can be expected along and near the coast.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A high surf advisory means that high surf will affect beaches in the advisory area... producing rip currents and localized beach erosion.
These breaking waves will increase wave run up distances along the coastline... especially at and around the time of high tide on area beaches and jetties. Waves will break on and near area jetties and exposed points. Waves of this magnitude move very quickly and can easily sweep debris... such as logs and rocks... as well as people... into the cold ocean waters. Strong currents will also be generated by these waves... which will make safely swimming out of the surf extremely difficult.
