sloshing against the shoreline there in santa cruz. here is the view from earlier this evening. the waves were choppy and they will be building. and that's because there are several storms in the pacific that are kicking up the swells. so that is what's going to result in a beach hazard statement for tomorrow, 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. large breakers, ten foot or higher. and that means there is a risk of sneaker waves. current wave heights are 4 to 10ft. waves can hit without warning, so never turn your back to the ocean and be extra careful. here's a look at those wave heights tomorrow afternoon. coming up, you will notice around 14 footers along the california coast, which includes the bay area and the wave heights will remain elevated as we head into the weekend. and the first part of your sunday live doppler seven is tracking the first of two systems that will impact us through the end of the workweek and weekend, and that one is bringing some showers and snow showers to northern california. we are seeing a few returns in the northern part of our viewing area. so far. most of that is
