冲浪者在加州雷耶斯角海域失踪 气象部门曾预警7至12英尺碎浪
位于加利福尼亚州马林县的雷耶斯角（Point Reyes）海域有一名冲浪者失踪。马林县警长办公室周日证实，这名男子最后一次被目击时正在雷耶斯角附近海域冲浪，当局已展开搜寻，其身份尚未公开。
国家气象局此前发布了海滩危险声明，生效时间从周六凌晨3点持续到周日晚上9点，警告加州沿岸数百英里范围可能出现危险的偷袭浪与强劲离岸流，碎浪可达7到12英尺。预警范围从旧金山海岸线经雷耶斯角，一路向南延伸到 Monterey Bay 和 Big Sur。
偷袭浪能在毫无征兆的情况下冲上比平常更远的沙滩，把站在岸边、岩石和防波堤上的人卷入海中。雷耶斯角一带海岸线崎岖、海况瞬息万变，即使是经验丰富的水手和游泳者也面临风险。当局尚未披露这名冲浪者失踪的具体情形，也未确认他是否被离岸流或偷袭浪卷走。（GSM 据《纽约邮报》报道）
Surfer Missing Off Point Reyes, California, as Forecasters Warned of 7-to-12-Foot Breaking Waves
A surfer has gone missing in the waters off Point Reyes in Marin County, California. The Marin County Sheriff's Office confirmed on Sunday that the man was last spotted surfing off Point Reyes; a search has been launched and his identity has not been released.
The National Weather Service had issued a Beach Hazards Statement in effect from 3 a.m. Saturday until 9 p.m. Sunday, warning of dangerous sneaker waves and powerful rip currents along hundreds of miles of the California coastline, with breaking waves reaching 7 to 12 feet. The alert stretched from the San Francisco coastline through Point Reyes and south to Monterey Bay and Big Sur.
Sneaker waves can surge much farther up the beach than surrounding waves without warning, sweeping people from the sand, rocks and jetties into the ocean. Point Reyes' rugged coastline and shifting conditions pose risks even to experienced mariners and swimmers. Authorities have not disclosed the circumstances of the surfer's disappearance or whether he was caught in a rip current or a sneaker wave. (GSM, based on the New York Post)
