The region’s Pacific coastline will see another round of high surf arrive Sunday morning with dangerous breaking waves that could exceed 30 feet in some spots, forecasters said.
The National Weather Service issued a high surf warning for 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday along coastlines and beaches from Big Sur to Sonoma County.
Visitors to the coast are cautioned to stay off piers and coastal jetties, keep an eye on children and never turn their backs on the ocean.
The swell will bring waves from 23 to 28 feet at west-northwest facing beaches and some breakpoints are expected to see waves above 30 feet, the weather service said.
A high surf advisory for the region was previously issued at 8 a.m. Friday and expired at 6 a.m. Saturday.
The latest round of high tides will subside Sunday night and into Monday, to be followed by King Tides that are forecast to reach up to 7 feet and could bring minor coastal flooding on Monday and Tuesday.
Thanks to Kirkwood for the photos. He says he took them a few years ago, when the surf had been predicted at 30+ feet but at the time of the photos was about 25-28 feet. The rail on the pier is about chest high.

Why bother warning people, they’ll just grumble about their freedom to swim wherever they want.
Well it was the liberal progressives that always told us to ‘challenge authority’, to ‘speak truth to power’, and challenge any rule.
‘Do your own thing’s and personal freedom was everything and superceded everything else. What happened? Now the same people are telling us to conform or else.
Surf’s up.

Lucky they didn’t mention the water wings.
