breaking waves of 30 to 35 feet, including breakers up to 40
feet at favored spots such as Mavericks.

* WHERE…San Francisco, Coastal North Bay Including Point Reyes

* WHEN…Until noon PST Tuesday.

* IMPACTS…Life-threatening swimming and surfing conditions and
significant shoreline erosion can be expected. Numerous roads
may be closed, and some critical infrastructure will be
inundated. 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.
