...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH FRIDAY
AFTERNOON...
...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 8 PM SATURDAY TO
4 AM PDT WEDNESDAY...
* WHAT...For the Beach Hazards Statement, long period SW swell
will bring an increased risk of sneaker waves and strong rip
currents. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, up to 1.7 ft of
inundation above ground level is possible in low-lying areas
near shorelines and tidal waterways.
* WHERE...Pacific Coast.
* WHEN...For the Beach Hazards Statement, through Friday
afternoon. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, from 8 PM Saturday
to 4 AM PDT Wednesday.
* IMPACTS...Dangerous conditions are forecast along the
shoreline. Hazards include sneaker waves, strong rip currents,
and large breaking waves. High tide flooding of lots, parks,
and roads with only isolated road closures expected.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...At the San Francisco tidal gauge, high
tide is expected to be 1.6 ft above normal (7.4 ft MLLW) at
9:11 PM 7/11, 1.7 ft above normal (7.5 ft MLLW) at 10:06 PM
7/12, 1.7 ft above normal (7.5 ft MLLW) at 11:01 PM 7/13, 1.6
ft above normal (7.4 ft MLLW) at 11:55 PM 7/14. These
predictions include both astronomical tides and roughly 3-6
inches of additional water mainly from a combination of
thermal expansion and accumulated sea level rise since the
tidal datum was established (1983-2001). High tide varies up
to 90 minutes earlier or later along the Pacific Coast and
through the San Francisco Bay, respectively.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
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. Monitor local weather,
surf and tide forecasts at www.weather.gov/mtr.
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.
