High Surf Advisory
Issued by the National Weather Service at 12:31 PM PST on November 7, 2009


... High surf advisory remains in effect until 9 am PST Sunday...

A large northwest swell will continue to pound the shoreline of
northern California this afternoon. Breaker heights ranging from
20 to 24 feet are expected through the afternoon hours.

The swell is expected to diminish in magnitude tonight through
Sunday morning. However... the long period nature of these waves
will continue to create a threat for large and dangerous surf.

Boaters are strongly urged to postpone recreational activity and
avoid traversing Bay and Harbor entrances.

Persons venturing out to the shoreline are urged to exercise
extreme caution. Avoid walking on jetties and keep back from the
Waters Edge. Waves may rise up unexpectedly and sweep you into
the turbulent and frigid waters.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A high surf advisory means that high surf will affect beaches in
the advisory area... producing rip currents and localized beach
erosion.
