HIGH SURF ADVISORY IN EFFECT from 3 AM Wednesday to 9 AM PST Friday for Large breaking waves of 18 to 22 feet, with increased risk of sneaker waves and strong rip currents along the Pacific Coast. #CAwx
HIGH SURF ADVISORY IN EFFECT from 3 AM Wednesday to 9 AM PST Friday for Large breaking waves of 18 to 22 feet, with increased risk of sneaker waves and strong rip currents along the Pacific Coast. Expect dangerous swimming and surfing conditions and localized beach erosion can be expected. Sneaker waves can sweep across the shoreline without warning, pulling people into the sea from rocks, jetties and beaches. Large breaking waves can overpower swimmers resulting in significant physical injury and increase the risk of drowning. Swimmers should remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions. Stay off of jetties, piers, rocks, and other waterside infrastructure. Remain out of the water to avoid hazardous surf and NEVER turn your back on the ocean. Monitor local weather, surf and tide forecasts at www.weather.gov/mtr.

Driving on I-280 in San Mateo County is challenging in the rain. Please adhere to these safety tips to reduce your risk of an accident. 🐢Slow Down & Space Out When it rains, reduce your speed and double your following distance. 🔆 Lights On, Wipers On It is the law: if your wipers are going, your headlights should be too. ⚠️ Avoid the "Cruise Control" Never use cruise control on wet roads. 👀 Defog Your Vision Rain usually brings humidity, which fogs up your windows fast. #CaWx @sanmateoco youtu.be/e-Ov47-1stE?si=K2nV…

Cal OES reminds you that major sporting events like the Super Bowl bring thousands together—but the magnitude of exposure can also create opportunities for human trafficking. On how to report visit: wp.me/pgM8my-12bt #SeeSomthingSaySomething #SuperBowlLX
