There is the potential of sneaker waves along the Northwest California coast today and Wednesday. When vising the park do not let the ocean fool you. Long period waves can generate lulls of wave activity making the ocean look deceivingly calm and draw people closer to the water. These lulls end with a large set of breaking waves that will wash much farther up beaches, easily knocking you down. Never turn your back on the ocean!
