The National Weather Service office in Eureka, CA, issued a beach hazards statement at 10:05 p.m. Friday, Oct. 30, valid from Sunday at 6 p.m. through Monday at 10 p.m. The advisory covers Coastal Del Norte, Northern Coastal Humboldt, Southwestern Humboldt, and Coastal Mendocino zones, warning of an increased threat of sneaker waves. The NWS cautions that large, unexpected waves can sweep people into the sea from rocks, jetties, and beaches, and can move large objects such as logs. Residents are advised to avoid rocks, jetties, and steep beaches, stay far back from the water, and never turn their backs on the ocean.
