  Expires: Fri, 11/7 3:00pm Certainty: Likely

Areas Affected: San Francisco - Northern Monterey Bay - Southern Monterey Bay and Big Sur Coast
 
Alert Details:
* WHAT...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. For the Beach Hazards
Statement, a long period westerly swell will result in an
increased risk for sneaker waves and rip currents with
breaking waves of 14 to 19 feet. In favored locations breaking
waves could reach 25 feet.

* WHERE...San Francisco and Monterey Bay.

* WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, until 2 PM PST Saturday.
For the Beach Hazards Statement, until 9 AM 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 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. High tide timing varies up to 90 minutes
earlier or later along the coast and throughout the Bay
respectively.

Information:
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.

Remain out of the water to avoid hazardous swimming conditions.
