SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The Coast Guard is urging boaters and
swimmers to stay away from the waters off the California coast this
weekend when swells of up to 19 feet are expected.
Large breaking waves approaching 20 feet and dangerous rip
currents are also forecast between 10 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m.
Sunday. The National Weather Service has issued a hazardous seas
warning and a high surf advisory.
The Coast Guard says people should avoid going near beaches or
other low-lying coastal areas, where large waves can sweep even a
strong swimmer away. If boaters must be on the water, the agency
says they should make sure their safety equipment is in good
condition and tell someone on land where they are going and when
they plan to return.
Conditions are expected to improve by late Sunday night.
