And debora youve been watching the preparations going on all evening. Reporter its eerie out here right now, usually its full of tourists but as you can see its empty. This parking lot and the popular vista point on the north end both closed about an hour ago. Very soon transit buses and construction trucks will be the only vehicles on the golden gate. Yellow tubes in their final appearance on the golden gate bridge. Clearing the way for the Construction Zone down the middle that will make them absolute. Were closing at 9 00.

Lifeguards are telling us that conditions are just too dangerous. Even if you get up to your knees, you can still get pulled out, especially in those areas where you see the water is kind of flat between two big waves. That indicates a kind of canyon where the rip currents are sailing out to sea many times faster than a person can swim. People at ocean beach have drowned. Ankledeep only. Thank you, john.
