A Message from the Sheriff's Office About Mavericks
The San Mateo County Sheriff's Office is encouraging viewing the big surf competition on TV or streamed live from home/work computers.

The Mavericks Invitational Surf Contest is officially set for Friday, Jan.Β 24, andΒ for those looking to catch the best views of the contest, surf enthusiasts and fans alike areΒ being strongly urged to either watch the event online or on TV.Β
The event will be streaming live on the Mavericks Invitational website and broadcast on the Universal Sports Network.
Due to the highΒ surf expected day of the contest, those who plan on attending in person are being cautioned to stayΒ off the beaches, bluffs and cliffs as doing so will put their own safety at risk and likely be detrimentalΒ to the surrounding ecosystem, according to the San Mateo County sheriff's office.
The Oceano Hotel will once again be hosting the Mavericks Viewing Festival this year and that is where those planning to attend the contest should plan to go.Β
TicketsΒ can be purchased online here.Β
