Starting late tonight and into tomorrow afternoon, the Eureka office of the National Weather Service is cautioning beachgoers about the potential of sneaker waves.
The NWS beach hazard statement warns that the "large, unexpected waves can sweep across the beach
without warning, sweeping people into the sea from rocks,
jetties, and beaches."
People are urged to keep their distance from the surf on Tuesday.
