Sneaker Waves Expected on Bay Area Beaches This Weekend
The Weather Service office in San Francisco has a beach hazards statement for Pacific Coast beaches from Point Reyes through San Francisco and the Peninsula coast to northern Monterey Bay, from 3 a.m. Saturday to 9 p.m. Sunday. It warns of an increased risk of sneaker waves and strong rip currents with breakers of 7 to 12 feet; sneaker waves can sweep across the shoreline without warning and pull people off beaches, jetties and rocks. Never turn your back on the ocean, and stay well back from the waterline and off rocks and jetties.
