Large waves of 25 to 35 feet were expected along the Northern California coast on Tuesday and a high surf warning is in effect until 6 p.m.

At least one person died after massive waves battered Northern California's coast on Monday. A man was trapped by debris that washed up on a beach in Santa Cruz, authorities said. The man was rescued and taken to the hospital where he later died.

A powerful storm pummeling the West Coast churned up waves as high as 60 feet, killing one man, sweeping another out to sea and prompting multiple rescues when a pier collapsed in Santa Cruz, California,
