* WHAT…Moderate to high risk of sneaker waves expected.

* WHERE…Northern Monterey Bay.

* WHEN…From Friday morning through late Saturday night.

* IMPACTS…Sneaker waves can sweep across the beach without
warning, pulling people into the sea from rocks, jetties, and

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
