In Northern California, where waves are as tall as five-story buildings, the National Weather Service has put up an all-caps tweet warning people to, “STAY WELL BACK FROM THE OCEAN OR RISK CERTAIN DEATH.” The dangerous surf prompted the World Surf League to cancel this week’s big wave tour competition at the legendary Mavericks surf spot south of San Francisco. A high surf advisory remains in effect through 9 AM today.
