Coastal Flood Advisory issued January 30 at 4:15AM PST until February 1 at 12:00PM PST by NWS San Francisco CA

Effective: Fri January 30, 2026, 4:15 AM
Expires: Fri January 30, 2026, 2:00 PM

* WHAT...Up to 1.4 ft of inundation above ground level is possible in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways. * WHERE...Bayshore locations along the San Francisco Bay and San Pablo Bay. * WHEN...Until noon PST Sunday. * IMPACTS...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: 1.4 ft above normal (7.20 ft MLLW) at 8:34 AM Friday 1/30, 1.4 ft above normal (7.27 ft MLLW) at 9:30 AM Saturday 1/31, 1.3 ft above normal (7.16 ft MLLW) at 10:22 AM Sunday 2/1. These predictions include up to 0.4 ft of storm surge from an incoming moderate to long period swell that will enhance the astronomical tide and flooding threat. High tide timing 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.

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.
