PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... It is extremely dangerous to fish or observe waves from exposed coastal structures or rocks during high surf conditions. Very large waves can suddenly sweep across previously dry areas. Swimming or surfing in these waves may be dangerous for anyone due to the powerful waves and strong rip currents. Longshore currents commonly occur when waves approach the shoreline at an angle. They can be particularly dangerous near a jetty or pier.
