Coastal flood advisory in place for Bay Area Shorelines from Thursday to Sunday
"At the San Francisco tidal gauge, high tide is expected to be: 1.2 ft above normal (7.02 ft MLLW) at 7:34 a.m. Thursday 1/29, 1.1 ft above normal (6.98 ft MLLW) at 8:34 a.m. Friday 1/30, 1.4 ft above normal (7.24 ft MLLW) at 9:30 a.m. Saturday 1/31, 1.3 ft above normal (7.16 ft MLLW) at 10:22 a.m. Sunday 2/1. These predictions include up to 0.4 ft of storm surge that will enhance the astronomical tide and flooding threat."
"Dangerous conditions are forecast along the shoreline. Hazards include sneaker waves, strong rip currents, and large breaking waves, according to the NWS. 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 coastal flood advisory is in effect for Northern and Southern Monterey Bay, the Big Sur Coast, and San Francisco County from Thursday 6 a.m. through Sunday Feb. 1 at noon. Low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways may experience up to 1.4 feet of inundation above ground level. San Francisco tidal gauge forecasts show tides 1.1–1.4 feet above normal on Jan. 29–31 and 1.3 feet on Feb. 1, including up to 0.4 feet of storm surge. Flooding of lots, parks, and roads with isolated closures is expected. Shoreline hazards include sneaker waves, strong rip currents, and large breaking waves. Travel may face delays; avoid driving through unknown-depth water. Sandbags and preparation guidance are available for affected counties, and people should stay off jetties, piers, and rocks and remain out of the water.
