National Weather Service Issues High Surf Warning for Northern California Coast With Breaking Waves of 30 to 40 Feet in Del Norte and Humboldt Counties From Friday Afternoon
The National Weather Service office in Eureka has issued a high surf warning for the Northern California coast, with breaking waves of 30 to 40 feet expected along coastal Del Norte County and northern Humboldt County.
The warning for that stretch of coast runs from 1 p.m. Friday, November 13, to 4 a.m. Sunday. A warning for southwestern Humboldt County and coastal Mendocino County begins at 4 p.m. Friday and also runs to 4 a.m. Sunday. A second large swell is forecast late Sunday through Monday.
A Pacific storm moving toward Northern California and southern Oregon is producing the large surf. The weather service's Sacramento office said a series of storm systems will bring widespread rain, moderate to heavy mountain rain and snow, and gusty to strong southerly winds from Friday into early next week.
Forecasters caution that large breaking waves can wash over beaches and coastal roads. The public is advised to stay off rocks and jetties and to follow the latest information from the National Weather Service and local agencies.
