Incoming long period swell this afternoon will bring a high risk for sneaker waves Tuesday and Wednesday. Don't be fooled by an ocean that looks calm. There can be up to 30 minutes of small waves right before a sneaker wave strikes. Avoid steep beaches, rocks, and jetties. Stay far back from the surf, and do not go in after dogs that get pulled into the surf. Dogs almost always get out on their own.
