Plunging waves are the most dangerous type of breaking waves as they can easily slam you into the ocean floor with a lot of force. Many spinal and head injuries are caused this way. Surging waves can also be dangerous as they can easily knock both children and adults over as they rush up and back down the beach. Even small waves can be dangerous. Remember, ‘Stay Dry When Waves Are High.’www.weather.gov/beach #BeachSafety #SpringSafety

Thunderstorms can be a mariner’s worst nightmare. They can develop quickly and can produce strong wind, pounding rain and deadly lightning. If you see clouds beginning to pile up, thunderstorms are likely beginning to develop. Don’t wait until you can hear thunder or see lightning. It is best to head to port or safe shelter at the first sign of a developing storm. http://www.nws.noaa.gov/os/marine/safeboating/during.shtml #LightningSafety

Sneaker waves are unpredictable waves which happen most often on the west coast. They are large waves which can appear without warning and travel much farther up the beach than normal, even when the ocean seems calm. When at the beach, always stay alert and weather ready. http://www.ripcurrents.noaa.gov/beach_hazards.shtml #BeachSafety #SpringSafety
