Part 3/7:
California is currently bracing for high surf advisories expected to last through the weekend. Areas such as Santa Cruz were particularly hard-hit.

Fortunately, the three engineers conducting inspections at the time were rescued with only minor injuries.
There are warnings in place for locals and tourists alike, encouraging cautious behavior near the water, as the state's beaches anticipate conditions unseen in three decades.
