The entire Northern California coastline is under beach hazard warnings. The National Weather Service warns that, for the next few days, the danger will be higher than normal.<\/p>\n
San Francisco\u2019s Baker Beach is notorious for having exceptionally strong sneaker waves. The danger of those waves will be higher than normal, according to the NWS.<\/p>\n
Santa Cruz State Parks lifeguards said teams have been busy with water rescues for more than a week. Two Bay Area college students in their 20s were napping on a beach near Santa Cruz on June 10 when they were swept out to sea by a sneaker wave and drowned.<\/p>\n
On Thursday, a mother and a child were pulled from the water, after they were hit by a sneaker wave at Baker Beach. At last report, they were hospitalized in critical condition with non-life-threatening injuries.<\/p>\n
Experienced Bay Area crabber Volark Keo is a moderator for the Pacifica Pier Fishing and Crabbing group.<\/p>\n
He is charge of warning crabbers about the surf dangers in social media advisories.<\/p>\n
\u201cBasically, respect the wave. For me, I pray before during and after, and always keep my head on a swivel, no matter what. And if you have a bad feeling, get out. Crab another day. Live another day,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The National Weather Service advises beach goers to stay far from the water\u2019s edge, and off jetties, rocks and piers, and as always never turn their backs on the ocean.<\/p>\n
The NWS says the Surf Hazard Advisories will remain in effect until at least Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The entire Northern California coastline is under beach hazard warnings.
