"These predictions include up to 0.4 ft of storm surge from an incoming moderate to long period swell that will enhance the astronomical tide and flooding threat. High tide timing varies up to 90 minutes earlier or later along the Pacific Coast and through the San Francisco Bay, respectively. Flooding of lots, parks, and roads with only isolated road closures expected."
"Dangerous conditions are forecast along the shoreline. Hazards include sneaker waves, strong rip currents, and large breaking waves, the NWS said. 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."
A beach hazards statement covers Northern and Southern Monterey Bay, the Big Sur Coast, and San Francisco County from 4:15 a.m. Friday through 9 a.m. Monday, Feb. 2. An incoming moderate to long period swell will produce 14 to 19 foot breaking waves, raising the risk of sneaker waves and strong rip currents. San Francisco tidal gauge forecasts high tides about 1.3 to 1.4 feet above normal on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and includes up to 0.4 feet of storm surge that enhances flooding threat. Flooding of lots, parks, and roads with isolated closures is expected; avoid jetties, piers, rocks, and open water, protect flood-prone property, and never turn your back on the ocean.
