"Long period westerly swell will result in an increased risk for sneaker waves and strong rip currents. Breaking waves 10 to 14 feet, with long lulls of 10 to 20 minutes or more between largest sets, can be expected according to the NWS San Francisco CA. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, at the San Francisco tidal gauge high tide is expected to be 0.8 ft above normal (6.66 ft MLLW) at 8:24 a.m. Tuesday, 1.2 ft above normal (7.00 ft MLLW) at 9:04 a.m. Wednesday,"
"High tide timing varies up to 90 minutes earlier or later along the Pacific Coast and throughout the San Francisco Bay respectively. 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, according to the NWS. If travel is required, allow extra time as some roads may be closed."
A beach hazards statement covers Northern and Southern Monterey Bay, the Big Sur Coast, and San Francisco County through Wednesday, Dec. 3 at 10 p.m. Long-period westerly swell will produce breaking waves of 10 to 14 feet with long lulls of 10 to 20 minutes, increasing the risk of sneaker waves and strong rip currents. High tides at the San Francisco gauge are forecast up to 1.4 ft above normal on several days, with timing varying by up to 90 minutes along the coast and bay. Rip currents are strongest near jetties, inlets, and piers. Stay off rocks, never turn your back on the ocean, avoid flooded roads, and protect flood-prone property.
