El Niño Surf Warning at Stinson Beach | Oakland News
Description
California’s south-facing beaches are bracing for danger as powerful, sneaky rip currents—called flash rips—threaten swimmers, even when waves look calm. Driven by a brewing El Niño, swells from Mexican hurricanes are hitting spots like Stinson Beach with surprising force. Lifeguards warn that what seems manageable can turn deadly in minutes, with waves suddenly doubling in size. Despite some beachgoers downplaying the risk, a dramatic rescue in Santa Cruz shows just how fast conditions can escalate. Stay alert—calm waters can hide serious danger.
