* WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, up to 1.2 ft of
  inundation above ground level is possible in low lying areas
  near shorelines and tidal waterways. For the Beach Hazards
  Statement, a long period westerly swell will result in an
  increased risk for sneaker waves and rip currents with
  breaking waves of 14 to 19 feet. In favored locations breaking
  waves could reach 25 feet.

* WHERE...San Francisco and Monterey Bay.

* WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, until 2 PM PST

  this morning through Saturday morning.

* IMPACTS...Sneaker waves can unexpectedly run significantly
  farther up the beach than normal, including over rocks and

  in the vicinity of jetties, inlets, and piers. Flooding of
  lots, parks, and roads with only isolated road closures
  expected.

  is expected to be 1.1 ft above normal (7.0 ft MLLW) at 11:42 AM
