Beach Hazard Statement Issued for Point Reyes National Seashore from April 16 through April 17, 2015

The following press release was published by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service on April 16, 2015. It is reproduced in full below.

A beach hazard statement has been issued by the National Weather Service and remains in effect from Thursday morning, April 16, through Friday evening, April 17.

In particular, west-facing beaches such as Kehoe Beach, Abbotts Lagoon Beach, Point Reyes Beach North, and Point Reyes Beach South can be especially dangerous.

There will be an increased chance of rip currents and sneaker waves which can knock people down and pull them out into the ocean.

Be sure to always keep your eyes on the ocean and use extra precaution when with children or, where allowed, pets on leash.
