According to a Wednesday morning press release from the National Weather Service, a giant swell generated by deep low pressure well offshore is incoming to our beaches beginning late tonight, peaking midday Thursday, then lowering but remaining high Thursday night into Friday. A high surf warning with breakers exceeding 30 feet is in effect. This an extremely dangerous situation.
Waves this large can sweep people from jetties or other exposed rocks, move logs of any size and create a trapping or crushing hazard to anyone nearby at any time. These waves will be capable of washing over entire beaches and may even run up into adjacent low lying parking lots or roadways. Conditions can change suddenly and catch people off guard.
The safest course of action is to stay away from the beach, but if you do venture out, do so only with extreme caution, and never turn your back on the ocean!
