...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT NOW IN EFFECT THROUGH TUESDAY
EVENING...

* WHAT...A long period NW swell will result in an increased risk
  of sneaker waves and rip currents. Breaking waves will be up
  to 20 feet in favored locations.

* WHERE...Pacific Ocean coastlines of the San Francisco Bay
  Area, Monterey Bay, and Big Sur.

* WHEN...Through Tuesday evening.

* IMPACTS...Sneaker waves can unexpectedly run significantly
  farther up the beach than normal, including over rocks and
  jetties. These waves can suddenly knock people off their feet
  and quickly pull them into the cold ocean waters, where currents
  will be stronger than normal. These waves can also carry
  driftwood logs and other debris.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Avoid climbing on rocks and jetties. Remain out of the water to
avoid hazardous swimming conditions. If going to the beach,
observe the waves for several minutes and increase the stand-off
distance from the water`s edge. Most importantly, be vigilant,
and never turn your back on the ocean.
