Sneaker Wave Safety

Another Chilly Morning (Tuesday)

Headed to the beach to enjoy the nice weather? Not to be a wet blanket, but please be mindful of some of the hazards associated with venturing near the water as there will be an elevated risk for sneaker waves and rip currents. This will be especially true for our Pacific Coast beaches. Stay off of jetties, piers, rocks, and other waterside infrastructure. Remain out of the water to avoid hazardous surf and NEVER turn your back on the ocean. Monitor local weather, surf and tide forecasts at www.weather.gov/mtr.

Anticipate another chilly morning on Tuesday with some portions of the Bay Area and Central Coast seeing temperatures in the low to mid 30s. A Cold Weather Advisory is in effect from 1 AM to 9 AM Tuesday. Be sure to protect sensitive plants, pets, and livestock. Check on those sensitive to the chilly conditions and be mindful of indoor heating appliances. Never use grills or generators indoors.
