If the sand is smooth, get ready to move.

Sneaker waves, as you call them, are fun between Morro Bay and Cayucos. Many times I have stood in them on the beach and seen myself move at least 10 feet in one direction or another. Stay in their reach too long and they will slide you out to deep water though. I have had to swim back in.
