Effective: Sun November 2, 2025, 10:40 PM
Expires: Tue November 4, 2025, 3:00 AM

* WHAT...For the Beach Hazards Statement, a long period northwesterly swell will result in an increased risk for sneaker waves and rip currents and breaking waves of 12 to 17 feet with the highest waves up to 20 feet in favored locations. 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. * WHERE...San Francisco and Monterey Bay. * WHEN...For the Beach Hazards Statement, through late Monday night. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, from 8 AM Tuesday to 2 PM PST Saturday. * IMPACTS...Sneaker waves can unexpectedly run significantly farther up the beach than normal, including over rocks and jetties. Rip currents are typically more frequent and stronger in the vicinity of jetties, inlets, and piers. 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 0.7 ft above normal (6.6 ft MLLW) at 9:42 AM Tuesday, 1.0 ft above normal (6.9 ft MLLW) at 10:18 AM Wednesday, 1.2 ft above normal (7.0 ft MLLW) at 10:58 AM Thursday, 1.1 ft above normal (7.0 ft MLLW) at 11:42 AM Friday, and 0.9 ft above normal (6.7 ft MLLW) at 12:31 PM Saturday.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
