Coastal Flood Advisory issued October 7 at 12:33PM PDT until October 14 at 4:00PM PDT by NWS San Francisco CA

Effective: Wed October 7, 2026, 12:33 PM
Expires: Thu October 8, 2026, 1:00 PM

* WHAT...Up to 1.2 ft of inundation above ground level is possible in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways. * WHERE...Bayshore locations along the San Pablo Bay. * WHEN...Until 4 PM PDT Wednesday. * 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. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...At the San Francisco tidal gauge, high tide is expected to be 1.0 ft above normal (6.78 ft MLLW) at 10:51 AM Thursday 10/8, 1.0 ft above normal (6.86 ft MLLW) at 11:22 AM Friday 10/9, 1.2 ft above normal (7.06 ft MLLW) at 11:50 AM Saturday 10/10, 1.2 ft above normal (7.08 ft MLLW) at 12:18 PM Sunday 10/11, 1.2 ft above normal (7.03 ft MLLW) at 12:46 PM Monday 10/12, 1.1 ft above normal (6.90 ft MLLW) at 1:14 PM Tuesday 10/13, and 0.9 ft above normal (6.72 ft MLLW) at 1:46 PM Wednesday 10/14. These predictions include up to 0.9 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.

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.

* WHAT...Up to 1.2 ft of inundation above ground level is possible in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways. * WHERE...Bayshore locations along the San Francisco and Monterey Bays. * WHEN...From 9 AM Friday to 3 PM PDT Tuesday. * IMPACTS...Flooding of lots, parks, and roads with only isolated road closures expected. High tides will result in flooding along coastal trails, cut off access to some low- lying beaches and coastal areas, and bring water and waves farther up the beach than typical. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...At the San Francisco tidal gauge, high tide is expected to be 1.0 ft above normal (6.86 ft MLLW) at 11:22 AM Friday 10/9, 1.2 ft above normal (7.06 ft MLLW) at 11:50 AM Saturday 10/10, 1.2 ft above normal (7.08 ft MLLW) at 12:18 PM Sunday 10/11, 1.2 ft above normal (7.03 ft MLLW) at 12:46 PM Monday 10/12, 1.1 ft above normal (6.90 ft MLLW) at 1:14 PM Tuesday 10/13, and 0.9 ft above normal (6.72 ft MLLW) at 1:46 PM Wednesday 10/14.

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.
