Event:
Coastal Flood Advisory
Urgency:
Expected
Effective:
July 7, 2026 - 9:00pm
Expires:
July 9, 2026 - 4:00pm
Description:
* 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 1.5 ft above normal (7.3 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.
Instruction:
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.
