In the "see also", there's a link to "Freak wave", but no explaination there or here. Are there frequent freak waves in Tomales bay? -- 24.143.152.205 05:09, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
- The bar area where Tomales Bay merges with the Pacific Ocean is well known as a location where large waves occur, yes. Someone should eventually add that explanation to the article. Not in the bay per se, but at the defined border region. Georgewilliamherbert 02:44, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
- There have been some fatal events there, in which people strolling on the beach have been washed out to sea. We should try to document a few. - Willmcw 03:43, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
- Strolling on the beach ?? I've been hanging around Tomales Bay since I was 3 weeks old, and I don't recall any cases of that, though there are a number of interesting boat and shark attack fatalities from the bay entrance (and other nearby ocean and bay areas). Do you have a ref for a beach fatality at the bar? Or was that just someone caught in a wave on the Ocean beaches in general? That has happened, yeah.

The beachgoers were apparently somewhere elsewhere on the Point Reyes sea shore, but not in Tomales Bay itself. The "sneaker wave" incidents near Tomales appear to have been boating accidents, one of which killed 13. There is certainly 5ome material here which we could summarize for this article. - Willmcw 20:32, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
