Dangerous surf conditions continue to plague the Bay Area as a powerful storm system moves ashore tonight, bringing strong winds and large waves that could make for hazardous beach conditions.
Gusts of up to 30 miles per hour were recorded earlier today, although they died down significantly by midday. The warmup from the previous day's windy conditions has brought daytime highs into the upper 60s in some areas, but a storm system moving in tonight is expected to bring significant cooler air and temperatures only reaching the mid-50s.
A Beach Hazards Statement remains in effect until 10 pm tonight, warning of sneaker waves, rip currents, and rough surf. The National Weather Service has issued a Coastal Flood Advisory for San Francisco Bay and San Pablo Bay through Sunday due to higher-than-normal tides known as "king tides". Minor flooding is possible in low-lying areas along the shore.
The weather improves slightly tomorrow with a one-day cooldown bringing temperatures back into the upper 50s. However, from Friday onwards, the warming trend continues, with sunny skies and highs reaching mid-to-upper 60s near the Bay Area, while coastal areas see temperatures ranging between 60 to 62 degrees.
Significant rain is not expected until later this month on December 14th-15th, but for now, it's a good idea to check surf forecasts and beach conditions before heading out to enjoy the outdoors.

Stay away from the coast! Those waves are no joke 
! Like, can't we just have nice weather for once? The Bay Area is literally one big mess right now... huge waves, strong winds, and it's like, totally not safe to be out at the beach 
. I'm talking about my favorite surf spot, Huntington Beach... they're gonna shut it down for sure tonight 
. And don't even get me started on the rain that's supposed to come later this month... December 14th-15th? Like, what am I supposed to do then? Hit the beach when it's pouring outside? No thanks! Can we just stay indoors and binge-watch Netflix or something instead? 
. Like, if u r planning on hitting the beach, check those surf forecasts 1st & make sure ur prepared for some gnarly waves 
. Also, dont say im not warnin... them king tides can get pretty intense 
. Not exactly the best conditions for a fun beach day... but hey, if u r adventurous, go 4 it! 
I mean, I know we need rain and all that, but can't we just have a nice sunny day for once? 
Anyway, I was thinking about how much I hate beach trips when there's bad weather. Like, who thought it was a good idea to go surfing or swimming in 60-degree water with strong winds blowing? 
It's just not worth it, you know?
. The surf conditions are literally treacherous and it's just not safe to be out there right now. Come on, can we just have a day without having to worry about our lives while trying to enjoy the outdoors? 
At least tomorrow's supposed to be cooler, but I'm still not feeling it 
. But for real though, beach lovers should definitely keep an eye on those surf forecasts and beach conditions before heading out. Not safe at all with sneaker waves and rip currents! 
And the cool air temps, ugh... mid-50s? Brrr! 
But, I guess it's better than the rain we're expecting on the 14th-15th 
️... but for now, let's just hope everyone stays safe out there! 
And can we pls make sure our surfers are checking those forecasts? Don't wanna see anyone get caught off guard by a sneaker wave 
think its kinda cool how nature can bring so much drama to our shores - strong winds & huge waves are like the ultimate test of bravery for any surfer out there! and hey, at least we get to enjoy that beachy feel for a bit while it's all going down 
but for real tho, super important to keep an eye on those surf forecasts & beach conditions so everyone stays safe 
. So many people are going to get caught off guard by those sneaker waves and rip currents. We gotta be super careful out there, especially if you're planning on surfing or swimming. And I'm still trying to get over that chill from the windy conditions yesterday... brought the temperature way down 
. Better safe than sorry, right? Just check those surf forecasts and beach conditions first 
.
️
but also kinda excited to see what that storm brings out
