Then they look out at the ocean. Its not as angry as it has been recently. We had waves up to 20 feet a few weeks ago. Now they are down to a more manageable 7 to 8 feet. So people get the false hope they can go in the water and be safe. Heres the deal, though. Under the water, we have extremely strong rip currents right now so even though the ocean doesnt look as rough as it has been all winter long, those rip currents can be deadly and we have seen that over the past week. People flocking to the beach because its mild outside even though the waves arent that high the rip currents are dangerous so please use caution if you are heading to the beach anytime this week with this pleasant weather to get outside. Speaking of, 70s once again, dublin 71 for a high. San jose 76. Saint helena in wine country nearly 880 today. Even ocean beach with the high of 71.
