Beachgoers in the Bay Area are being warned about hazardous conditions. The National Weather Service has issued a warning due to a long-period southerly swell. This swell is increasing the risk of strong rip currents and sneaker waves along the Pacific coast.

The warning applies to beaches in the area, particularly those that face south and southwest. Further details about the warning and affected areas are available from the National Weather Service, including specific information about the beaches from the North Bay to Monterey County.
