...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 3 PM PST SUNDAY
AFTERNOON THROUGH 7 PM PST MONDAY EVENING...

* WHAT...Long period northwest swell will result in an energetic
  surf zone resulting in an increasing risk of sneaker waves and
  increasing rip currents, then transitioning to a larger surf
  with strong rip currents, long beach run-up and large shore
  break on steeper beaches. Breaking waves of 10 to 14 feet are
  expected.

* WHERE...San Francisco, Coastal North Bay Including Point Reyes
  National Seashore and San Francisco Peninsula Coast Counties.

* WHEN...From Sunday afternoon through Monday evening.

* IMPACTS...Large waves can sweep across the beach without
  warning, pulling people into the sea from rocks, jetties, and
  beaches. Sudden immersion in cold water can result in cold water
  shock even for the most experienced swimmers. Cold water shock
  can result in dramatic changes in breathing, heart rate and
  blood pressure, greatly increasing the risk of drowning in rough
  open waters.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Remain out of the water to avoid hazardous swimming conditions.
