Thirty-foot waves could hit the Bay Area and water barriers were overrun in Pacifica as the atmospheric river contributed to high surf along California.
As the atmospheric river continues to batter California, coastal areas up and down the state are seeing massive waves that are making beaches dangerous.
“It’s definitely a very dangerous time to be in the water,” said Eric Doldt, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard.Doldt described rip currents and coastal flooding by Zuma Beach in Malibu, where waves are crashing at up to 10 feet. At Hermosa Beach, waves were coming in at nine feet.
Farther north, waves continue to grow, with Laurel Bay in San Luis Obispo seeing waves up to 12 feet, according to Doldt.
