We are coming back into the season when Sneaker Waves become a danger on our coast. Do you know how to keep safe from this deadly hazard? Sneaker Waves are waves that can surprise beachgoers by running up on a beach significantly farther than other waves or over outcroppings. Sneaker Waves are preceded by lulls in wave activity of up to 30 minutes. Beachgoers encountering Sneaker Waves can be knocked down and dragged into the ocean. With coastal water temperatures in the 50s, survival can be difficult once in the ocean. Beachgoers should watch the waves and avoid rocky outcroppings and jetties as large breaking waves can develop without warning. Remember, never turn your back on the ocean!
