A coastal advisory is currently in effect through July 16 as a long-period southwesterly swell creates increased risk of sneaker waves and strong rip currents, as well as breaking waves up to 10 feet, weather officials said.
“Sneaker waves can sweep across the shoreline without warning, pulling people into the sea from rocks, jetties and beaches,” according to the National Weather Service. “Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions and localized beach erosion can be expected.”
