HEADS UP: If you’re planning a trip to the coast this weekend, please stay alert! 🌊
A Beach Hazards Statement is in effect from now through Monday morning for west-facing beaches along the Pacific Coast. Strong northerly winds are set to generate very rough conditions, including powerful rip and longshore currents.
What you need to know:
Safety First: Rough seas can suddenly sweep people off beaches, rocks, and jetties. Stay off the rocks!
Cold Water: Strong upwelling will cause water temperatures to plunge—expect a shock if you enter the water.
Tidal Swings: Large tidal swings could trap walkers by cutting off exits.
Erosion: Intense waves may make coastal terrain and cliffs unstable.
Respect the power of the Pacific: Stay back from the water’s edge and NEVER turn your back on the ocean.
