will this high surf stick around ? >> yeah, let's go to abc seven. weather anchor spencer christian tracking a look at this weather advisory. spencer. >> okay. dan. karina well, the wave heights are coming down just a bit as you pointed out, but we still have nonetheless a high surf advisory in effect until 4:00 tomorrow morning. wave heights may reach levels of 19 to 23ft. right now, you see, we still have elevated wave heights around 14 15ft. they appear to be coming down just a bit. nonetheless, there's still the risk of dangerous rip currents. and of course, these are dangerous surfing and swimming conditions. as we look at the satellite radar composite image, you see that the storm that we had last day this morning is moving away. nonetheless behind that storm, we've got some pretty brisk winds. it was the winds with that most recent storm that helped whip up the high surf. and right now we're looking at gusts near the coastline between 20 and 30mph. but those winds are expected to get a little bit tamer as well going into tomorrow. so once again, high surf advisory still in effect. we still have a dangerous, potentially dangerous surf. but

the wave heights are beginning to come down. >> dan okay. spencer. thanks very much. these are live pictures from santa cruz where you can see some small waves crashing at the breakwater there. and abc seven news reporter dustin dorsey is live in santa cruz. >> dustin, what did you find there today? >> you know, dan and karina, it was a beautiful day for wave watching and really still is as you saw that live. look, we're going to give you another one right here. here along west cliff drive. people from all over really wanted to come see these big tides from across the bay area. some of them seeing them for the first time in a while or ever. really but that unfamiliarity with the ocean has also been a problem for local rescue efforts. from to west cliff, santa cruz look more like the north shore of hawaii, with the sun shining bright over the blue water and big waves. the past few weeks of high surf has been a dream for surfers like dylan love and his friends from san francisco, so there's not much like surf

anywhere else right now. >> um, so the winds are, like, favorable right here, right now, and we're just going to get some before storm come. >> yeah. how great is these last few weeks been for these waves that. yeah aren't usually this great. >> yeah. i mean it's been really fun and surfed out here last week. it's been kind of stormy but still like really, really fun through these swells. >> as busy as it was in the water, the coastline was packed with visitors from all over enjoying nature show. >> the waves and the ocean are such a big part of santa cruz, so it's like when we get big waves. it's always fun to see and we saw some big ones. >> i live in reno right now, so it's been a while. >> but for residents here in santa cruz, these massive waves are becoming a common sight. laura morgan and her husband say they look forward to this time of year every year we just live in a beautiful place. >> we're always a little surprised when we walk down here. we don't. we don't really see it coming. >> i think as fun as the surprise factor is for those watching from afar, the idea of not seeing it coming is one of the dangers of the ocean. when

it comes to these big waves. with so many people swimming, surfing or viewing waves too close, it is kept california state parks lifeguards pretty busy the last few weeks have definitely been busy. >> we've seen an uptick in rescues for sure, with a lot of surfers out. you know, the new year, christmas, everyone's getting new equipment. um, last week was definitely interesting, the state park lifeguard tyler lamer says the most common rescues of late were needed when beachgoers got stuck in the water after tides rose, and when people watching the waves got knocked off of the rocks and rip currents took them out to sea. >> lamer is urging caution for all visitors and says, if you're unfamiliar with major waves like these, stay safe and stay away. just remember the ocean is unpredictable and you never know what you're going to get. >> so just you know, check your local forecast and if you're not comfortable getting out there, stay out of the water. >> lamer says that those sneaker waves, as well as debris in the water, really make things dangerous for people. while in there. so he says, don't turn your back to the water. make sure to stay off the rocks to stay safe. for now, live in santa cruz. dustin dawsey abc

satellite radar composite image. and as yesterday's and this morning's storm moves away, we get a little bit of a break. some clearing developing overnight and tomorrow. but there is uh- more storm activity brewing out to sea. and it will be coming our way around the end of the week. right now we're looking at mainly calm winds across the bay area, away from the coastline along the coast. however pretty gusty. about 2220 six mile per hour gusts right now and we have partly cloudy skies over much of the bay area 56 degrees right now in san francisco and in oakland, upper 50s at hayward, san jose and san mateo, and 55 at half moon bay. partly cloudy, also over the golden gate. breezy there 57 degrees up north at santa rosa. mid 50s right now at petaluma, napa, fairfield, concord and livermore. and these are our forecast headlines. we'll see a few high clouds overnight and into the early morning hours tomorrow. sunny but a bit on the cool side. seasonably cool that is. and then towards the end of the week becomes more unsettled. our weather does with more rain coming our way, if not late friday then certainly into

house republicans are turning up the pressure on the biden administration to stem the flow of migrants across our southern border. but president biden is blaming republicans for rejecting his border security proposals. abc news reporter am

wynne is on the story. >> today, house republicans touring the southern border keen on making the influx of migrants into the u.s. front and center this election year. >> under president biden, america has laid out a welcome mat to illegal immigrants, smugglers and cartels. >> this december alone, sources telling abc news. customs and border protection reported more than 300,000 migrant encounters. but the white house is instead pointing the finger at republicans, accusing them of exacerbating the problem at the border, noting how the house gop has refused to fund president biden's supplemental spending package, which includes money to hire more border agents, among other provisions. >> so we need the resources to actually do the work, and they keep getting in the way. house republicans keep getting in the way. >> meanwhile, as texas governor greg abbott busses hundreds of migrants out of state to so-called sanctuary cities, some, like chicago and new york, are approving new ordinances to

fine bus companies for arriving without notice. the bitter border battle comes as house republicans ramp up efforts to impeach secretary of homeland security alejandro mayorkas for his handling of the crisis, an official hearing now announced for next week as part of the impeachment proceedings, the department of homeland security telling abc news this is a baseless political exercise. mayorkas, with this reaction on cnn, i am surrounded by incredibly talented and dedicated people, and i'm incredibly proud to work alongside them and to support them in advancing the mission of the department of homeland security, mayorkas is now working with a group of senate leaders to try and reach a new bypass border security package that lawmakers can vote on upon returning from holiday recess. and when abc news washington. and another political news today on getting answers, i asked california secretary of state shirley weber about the decision

to keep donald trump on the primary ballot. >> we're covered by our election code and our election code, basically, uh, it tells us what who's qualified to be on the ballot and who's not. but it also doesn't give us the authority to remove people from the ballot unless it's written in the codes. and so we then have to go to court. and that's why you often hear a lot of court cases in california that is there now we've had people to file complaints with us, with the courts and unfortunate or fortunately, depending on what side you're on, the courts have tossed out every, um, every one of the cases that have come forward. weber added, this is why it's important for the supreme court to take up the issue. >> colorado and maine disqualify trump from their ballots and the main decision was appealed yesterday, and trump's legal team appealed. the colorado ruling to the supreme court today, building a better bay area means ending ramps at drug dealing and drug use in san francisco's tenderloin, more than six months ago, san francisco police received a

directive from the mayor to start making more drug related arrests targeting both drug dealers and users. that's right. >> abc seven news reporter lyanne melendez is here with the latest numbers and the impact these arrests are having. >> so this is, as they say, a bit of a conundrum because the number of arrests for both drug dealers and users doubled. yet this year, san francisco will have more accidental overdoses than any other year. so here's the explanation. we received from both health officials and police. abc seven news was invited to follow plain clothes officers during one of many drug surveillance operations in the two neighborhoods where drug dealing is rampant. >> all right, not yet, but you guys just come eastbound mission. >> we have people who are observing the actions of this suspect, and we're going to try to move in and aid and make an arrest at this time, this last year,023, police arrested. 960 suspected dealers in the

tenderloin neighborhood alone, compared to 566 the previous year. >> 2022. we were there for one of them. let me ask you what went down here? so we're doing a narcotics surveillance operation where we set up one officer watching the area. >> they observe, uh, what they believe to be a suspected hand to hand narcotics transaction. then they radio us in the arrest team. they give us a description and a detailed physical description of the person. they tell us where they're at as the arrest team, we move in and we place the person under arrest, and then we wait for the officer that saw the observation. we wait for them to come over here, and then they conduct a search because he has not been convicted. >> we are not showing his face. police find several stashes in his backpack of what they believe is crack cocaine. most officers here are certified spanish speakers where is he from? uh uh. >> jared, let me see. so he has

a honduran passport. >> so he's from honduras. a lot of people from dealing drugs from honduras. >> very, very many. yeah >> drug sales, property crime. >> one of the arguments made by the former district attorney was that many dealers were immigrants from honduras who had been illegally trafficked to the united states in court. many still used that as part of their defense. but that's not what officers say they hear on the streets, as do many people say that they're here because they fear for the lives of their families. in honduras, they've been threatened from from my experience, we're not really ever really told that they're here to send money back home. >> not because they're, uh, victims of human trafficking or anything like that. >> the suspect dealer gave police a different name from that on his passport, which he happens to have with him. he had been arrested before using a false name. police told us half of the suspects arrested for the

sale of drugs were either on probation, pretrial. release or had active stay away orders. this despite requests made in court by the current da to keep them in custody. we're explaining that many of them have been arrested not once, not twice, even three times, for dealing fentanyl in our city. >> and these judges are not taking it seriously. they're allowing the courthouse to be a revolving door. >> the number of drug users in the tenderloin arrested in 2023 nearly doubled from the previous year. so how is it that the city will have the deadliest year on record for accidental drug overdoses with 752 through november of 2023? health department officials have tried to make sense of this disparity by explaining that arresting someone and forcing them into treatment often backfires was, in fact, their risk of overdose. >> sometimes sort of paradox goes up. we've said you can't use you may and created a

situation where they're not using opioids. they're tolerance goes down and a relapse can be deadly. >> it just shows how much of a of a battle this is with, uh, trying to keep people alive. and people are still going to continue to use. >> so we have an update for you on the person arrested that you saw there on december 21st. he was charged with possession to sell drugs and released five days later while awaiting trial. even though he had been arrested before for selling drugs and it's not uncommon for a county, a district attorney from a different city or what have you to, um, to have somebody charge and release them. you know, the judge is. but here in san francisco, two and 3 or 4 times, they're released. yes. and that is what the district attorney here in san francisco argued constantly. >> and that has to be frustrating for the people on the streets. yes. >> police.

>> yeah. thank you. >> liane. sure >> well, new data shows a pattern of racial profiling when it comes to traffic stops in california. a report by california's racial and identity profiling advisory board shows black people accounted for nearly 13% of traffic stops in 2022. that's far above their 5% share of the state's population in the top pro bowl picks. >> and the valentine's day mug that sold out in minutes and caused some big fights. actually, this morning, the ford four is

just book it. >> just book it. it's heading that way. it sounds like well they're good. >> yeah i mean they're going to end up with, you know, two home playoff games assuming that they, you know, that they advance in the first one and then so they don't have to leave california until the super bowl. should they make it that far. that's a real advantage. unfortunately there's no pro bowl game anymore. yeah that's true. there's it's a nice thing. maybe you get a bonus. yeah >> well this thing's turned into kind of lame affairs. yeah. spencer, i know joe montana is your favorite quarterback of all time, but brock purdy may be moving up on that list. >> he's moving up on the list. he is. montana was my favorite of all time, and namath is my second favorite. but, uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, namath is mine, too. he's looking pretty good. >> yeah. and kenny stabler, that was my list. snake was my favorite. >> yeah. >> pretty good. i caught that, spencer. that was good. all right, well, hordes of people rushed into target stores this morning to get their hands on a cup. we're talking about the special edition galentine's day stanley cups. they sold out in

just minutes. this is video from arizona. and some customers said they were trampled during the chaos for a cup. the exclusive tumblers are now selling for about $200 on ebay, but that's obviously not the price that you buy them at the store. i did ask my sister in law because she has one. my nieces have one. they carry them around with them everywhere they go. >> what's the deal? >> are they i asked, i was like, why? i mean, i don't have one, and she said it makes it easy to drink more water because it fits into your your cup and your car and it keeps the water colder, longer. >> they should sell stanley cups down at the shark tank. >> you know, it's funny you mentioned that i when i saw the story, i assumed that these were cups. yeah, shaped like i did hockey version of the stanley cup. and i'm like, this is so weird. why would people in arizona care about that necessarily? because their team is not very good. i thought the same thing. and so then to see, oh, it's just a pink cup with the brand. stanley. yeah

>> so hardly worth getting trampled for. >> no. yeah >> it was just the new cool thing to get. >> it was the actual stanley cup like a miniaturized version? i'd rather drink out of that. >> yeah, that'd be cool. >> yeah, larry, that's an idea. >> that's actually not a bad idea. >> our next not million dollar idea. yeah >> these great ideas we've ever seem to bring to fruition. yeah. right now to a different kind of shopping experience. this one is a bit more luxurious. no trampling allowed. hermes is offering luxury stationary. it's an envelope made from silk. it's reusable, and it should be, since it costs $125,125 for just one of these things, you don't even get to choose the design. hermes says it's a surprise any takers on this, spencer. >> i'll wait for someone else to order that. >> 125 bucks. >> yes, but you know it's going to sell, though, right? oh, for sure. you know, it's going to sell if the envelope is 125 bucks, what are you putting in the envelope? >> right. i want to get one of

those cash money that's larry. >> that's what they used to call snob appeal. >> i think they still do. yeah that's why i suggested spencer. oh, but i'm bomb. oh i see, yeah, if i'm up here, i can, you know, i can say anything. get away with it. >> all right, take him a while to run upstairs and get to you. yeah i'm going to help you out, larry. >> i'm going to move on. good. and we're going to talk about those new year's resolutions. according to a forbes poll, all the most popular resolutions this year include improving fitness, finances, losing weight and healthier eating. that's different from last year, when mental health was the top focus, and this year it dropped to the third spot. and i'm assuming that's probably because we're coming out of the pandemic and, you know, more people are focusing on mental health. but did any of you make resolutions this year? larry you working on something? >> no. >> yeah. you're already perfect. >> why mess with perfection? >> yeah. no, i mean, i'm stealing spencer's line,

actually, there, but from years past. no, i mean, you know, i have some goals and things that i'd like to accomplish in 2024, but i can't say that there's, you know. all right. i'm only going to eat, you know, or i'm going to eat salmon four times a week because of, you know, protein or whatever the case may be. no, not not so much. but most people fail anyway. yeah you know, like two weeks in, they really do. >> i mean, like, larry, you and i both eat sensibly and healthfully during the year, all through the year. so we don't have to make that resolution, but one that i think about every year is to try to stop, procrastinate so much. right? right. you know, you think about things you want to do and things you plan to do, and the next thing you know, it's three months later and you still haven't done those things. that's the way it is for me anyhow. >> yeah, i don't tend to make resolutions really. i try to focus on a couple of things, like you said, larry, but i don't make a big resolution, although this year may be to get my hands on one of those stanley cups for some just and resell some people, you'll be good.

movement. and you see that even through the color, using a more golden age color as though it's a it's a past memory. and then it kind of moves on to a more present day and, and kind of like a reimagined version of our, of our current present day work world. and it really shows what our world can be, the potential, because i think so many people forget about the dream and forget about the potential of our world. i mean, we're so focused on being aware of these issues, and there has been, i think, a rise and people being aware of these issues. but sometimes we're so focused on being aware and the current, the current status of our world that sometimes it can be so discouraging. and so providing that encouragement and, and hopefully inspiring others to, um, to do something and it doesn't have to be anything major or, or crazy, but something minor to help better their community. >> such a smart young lady. the book we dream a world is also a tribute to king's grandparents that is going to be great.

>> all right, let's update the weather forecast one more time. >> let's check in with spencer christian. >> okay. i want to tell you we still have a high surf advisory. in effect. and let's take a look at that. the wave height. oops. it it's not moving. my computer just sort of stopped moving here . why don't we tell you about it anyhow. we've got gusty winds near the coast right now as you can see, and nothing is advancing. so i'll just tell you the high the high surf advisory is in effect until 4 a.m. wave heights could reach levels of 19 to 23ft. we have rough surf, obviously, and dangerous conditions for swimming or surfing. now tonight we're going to see mainly clear skies early. a few thin, high clouds passing by later tonight and into the early morning hours. a sunny day tomorrow. not a very warm one, but a pleasant and dry day. and as we approach the weekend, friday, we'll see partly cloudy skies. chance of some late night showers. saturday looks like it's going to be a showery day. and then we get into sunny skies again on sunday and monday. so that's what you should be seeing right now. but my computer is stuck. >> hopefully we'll get it unstuck soon. spencer. thank

you. all right. tomorrow the golden bachelor will become the golden groom. we'll see. gary turner and his fiancee teresa tied the knot live right here on abc seven. the wedding will take place in italy, and the officiant will be one of the season's runners up. that's susan. you can catch the golden wedding live tomorrow at eight. right here on abc seven. >> the efficient is one of the runners up. that's a that was competition at one point. wow. all right. just ahe klay thompson speaking from the he

the abcs of ckd a is for awareness, because knowing that your chronic kidney disease in type 2 diabetes could progress to dialysis is important. b is for belief that there may be more you can do. just remember that k is for kidneys and kerendia. for adults living with ckd in type 2 diabetes, kerendia is proven to reduce the risk of kidney failure, which can lead to dialysis. kerendia is a once-daily tablet that treats ckd differently than type 2 diabetes medications to help slow the progression of kidney damage and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks. do not take kerendia if you have problems with your adrenal glands or take certain medications called cyp3a4 inhibitors. kerendia can cause hyperkalemia, which is high potassium levels in your blood.

ask your doctor before taking products containing potassium. kerendia can also cause low blood pressure and low sodium levels. so now that you know your abcs, don't wait. kidney damage from ckd in t2d is not reversible. so ask your doctor about slowing your kidney damage with kerendia.

wheel of fortune and jeopardy! then stay with us for abc seven news at 11. while the warriors have won four championships in the past decade and klay thompson has been a major contributor to their success. >> but this year, klay and the team they've struggled. larry, they really have an abc seven sports director larry beil is here with more on a revealing conversation really that klay just had and what it might mean for his future. >> this was fascinating, really, really interesting. it was no secret that klay thompson has had a rough year. he's going to go down in history as one of the best shooters in the history of the game, but this year, a lot of missed shots have resulted in frustration. most bad body language basically how i act when dan goes on vacation. i got to do all those shows uh- uh- after last night's game, klay revealed a conversation he had with head coach steve kerr, who sat him down for some real

perspective on all that klay has accomplished in the nba, and also trying to maximize what thompson calls the final chapter of his career. uh- >> well, steve and i had actually a great conversation yesterday and, uh, that helped me relax a lot. sometimes i forget just how successful and how lucky i've been to be a part of championship teams. and all star games and gold medals, and when you want to get back to that level. so badly, you can kind of get in your own way and rather than forcing it, we had a conversation about just enjoying this last chapter of my career and how lucky i truly am to still be playing this game and doing it at a high level and being a better mentor for these young guys, leading by example and having my energy right every game. and he helped me realize what i do have negative energy, how that affects the team in a

poor manner. so so we had a great conversation that just helped me change my whole mindset out and forget about shooting splits or points per game or all star games, and just to enjoy being in this warriors form and appreciate what we built. because it's such a rare opportunity for any professional athlete to be a part of so much success and to try and pass that torch to the younger guys and keep this thing going. >> rarely do you get that kind of honesty from a player in any sport. now klay is 33 years old. he's come back from two devastating injuries, potentially career ending. when we saw them take place final year of his contract. and that's a big deal here. he's on the books this year for $43 million. but klay is not a $40 million player at this point. is he a warrior. next year he probably wants to be. but at what salary. so many questions about klay and this team in general. but there are no answers right now. and it might just come down to what steph curry wants right. you

know do you want to try to ride with with klay and draymond when he comes back and know that you're probably not going to win any more championships or or you make deals and you try to maximize the last few years of steph. >> nice to hear he was so thoughtful. >> oh yeah. really heartfelt. >> that was good perspective to hear it from him. absolutely. >> thank you larry. >> yeah and that's it for abc seven news at 4 p.m. thanks for watching i'm karina nova and i'm dan ashley. >> basketball's next as the you should feel that, like, right back here.

oh, yeah, i felt that! good, that is so much better than last week. thanks, i've been doing 'em every night while i'm watching tv. - oh, what are you watching? it's a mystery. high quality care that meets you where you are. in order for small businesses to thrive, they need to be smart, efficient, savvy. making the most of every opportunity. that's why comcast business is introducing the small business bonus. for a limited time you can get up to $1000 prepaid card with qualifying internet. yup, $1000. so switch to business internet from the company with the largest fastest reliable network. give your business a head start in 2024 with this great offer. plus, ask how to get up to $1000 prepaid card with qualifying internet. switch today.
