...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 6 AM THIS
MORNING TO 1 PM PST MONDAY...
...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT IN EFFECT FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH
SATURDAY EVENING...
* 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, from 6 AM this morning to
1 PM PST Monday. For the Beach Hazards Statement, from 5 AM
Thursday to 7 PM PST Saturday.
* 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 tidal gauge, high
tide is expected to be 1.0 ft above normal (6.8 ft MLLW) at
8:00 AM Wednesday 11/4, 1.3 ft above normal (7.1 ft MLLW) at
8:35 AM Thursday 11/5, 1.4 ft above normal (7.2 ft MLLW) at
9:08 AM Friday 11/6, 1.6 ft above normal (7.4 ft MLLW) at 9:38
AM Saturday 11/7, 1.6 ft above normal (7.4 ft MLLW) at 10:06
AM Sunday 11/8, 1.6 ft above normal (7.4 ft MLLW) at 10:35 AM
Monday 11/9. These predictions include up to 1.2 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.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
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. Monitor local weather,
