Expected
Effective:
October 12, 2026 - 2:53pm
Expires:
October 12, 2026 - 11:00pm
Description:
* WHAT...Up to 1.5 ft of inundation above ground level is

waterways.
* WHERE...Bayshore locations along the San Francisco and
Monterey Bays.
* WHEN...Until 3 PM PDT Tuesday.
* IMPACTS...Flooding of lots, parks, and roads with only

farther up the beach than typical.

is expected to be 1.4 ft above normal (7.2 ft MLLW) at 1:14 PM
Tuesday 10/13. These predictions include up to 1.5 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.
Instruction:
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.
