Beach Hazards Statement

NWS San Francisco CA · severity: Moderate · until

Beach Hazards Statement issued November 8 at 7:50PM PST until November 9 at 10:00PM PST by NWS San Francisco CA

Areas: San Francisco

Official text
* WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, up to 1.6 ft of inundation above ground level is possible in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways. For the Beach Hazards Statement, an increased risk for sneaker waves and strong rip currents with breaking waves of 12 to 16 ft expected. * WHERE...San Francisco. * WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, until 4 PM PST Friday. For the Beach Hazards Statement, through Monday evening. * IMPACTS...High tides will result in flooding of low-lying infrastructure, isolated road closures, and coastal erosion. Rising tides will bring water and waves farther up the beach than normal, restricting escape from beaches and coastal areas. Waves can sweep across the shoreline without warning, pulling people into the sea from beaches, jetties, and rocks. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...At the San Francisco tide gauge, high tide is expected to be: 1.5 ft above normal (7.3 ft MLLW) at 10:35 AM Monday 11/9, 1.5 ft above normal (7.3 ft MLLW) at 11:04 AM Tuesday 11/10, 1.4 ft above normal (7.2 ft MLLW) at 11:35 AM Wednesday 11/11, 1.3 ft above normal (7.1 ft MLLW) at 12:10 PM Thursday 11/12, 1.1 ft above normal (6.9 ft MLLW) at 12:49 PM Friday 11/13. These predictions include up to 1.4 ft of surge that will enhance the astronomical tide and flooding threat. High tide varies up to 90 minutes earlier or later along the Pacific Coast and through the San Francisco Bay, respectively.

Instructions from the National Weather Service

If travel is required, allow extra time as some roads may be closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. Stay off of jetties, piers, rocks, and other waterside infrastructure. Remain out of the water to avoid hazardous surf and NEVER turn your back on the ocean.

Alerts come from the National Weather Service API and are checked every 5 minutes. We show warnings, watches, advisories and statements for land areas with their official text unchanged; marine-only alerts are not listed. An alert that covers several states appears on each state page. Times are local to the issuing office unless marked UTC.

Live Earth Watch is not an official warning service. We show data published by government agencies; for warnings and instructions follow your local emergency officials and the National Weather Service.
