SAN FRANCISCO ( KRON ) — Another high surf advisory has been issued for the Bay Area coastline, the National Weather Service announced Wednesday. The advisory goes into effect on 10 a.m. Thursday and will last through 4 p.m. Sunday.
Large breaking waves of 20 to 30 feet are possible, the NWS said. The advisory will be locally as far north as Cloverdale and as far south as Monterey.

The NWS is advising inexperienced swimmers to stay out of the water due to “life-threatening surf conditions.” People are also being cautioned to stay off jetties, piers and other coastal infrastructure.
“Never turn your back on the ocean!” the NWS said.
The advisory comes on the heels of a similar advisory issued by the NWS earlier this week when a section of the Santa Cruz Wharf collapsed into the ocean amid heavy surf.
