NBC Bay Area Forecaster Vianey Arana has the details on the Microclimate Forecast.
The National Weather Service is warning people along the coast about large swells that are expected to pound the California shoreline on Wednesday.
Waves are slated to peak anywhere from 10 to 14 feet in some spots throughout the day, according to the NWS.
Aside from the swells, the NWS is also warning the public about sneaker waves and rip currents.
Beaches along the Sonoma County coast all the way south to Monterey County are in the crosshairs for the large swells.
