Coastal Flood Advisory
Issued: 2:45 AM Aug. 7, 2026 – National Weather Service
...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 5 PM FRIDAY TO 2 AM PDT
THURSDAY...

* WHAT...Up to 1.7 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, San
Pablo Bay, and Monterey Bay.

* WHEN...From 5 PM Friday to 2 AM PDT Thursday.

* 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 1.0 ft above normal (6.84 ft MLLW) at 6:55 PM
Friday 8/7, 1.3 ft above normal (7.15 ft MLLW) at 8:00 PM
Saturday 8/8, 1.6 ft above normal (7.44 ft MLLW) at 9:02 PM
Sunday 8/9, 1.7 ft above normal (7.56 ft MLLW) at 10:01 PM
Monday 8/10, 1.6 ft above normal (7.44 ft MLLW) at 10:57 PM
Tuesday 8/11, and 1.3 ft above normal (7.14 ft MLLW) at 11:49 PM
Wednesday 8/12. These predictions include both astronomical
tides and roughly 3-6 inches of additional water mainly from a
combination of thermal expansion and accumulated sea level rise
since the tidal datum was established (1983-2001). High tide
varies up to 90 minutes earlier or later along the Pacific Coast
and through the San Francisco Bay, respectively.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

High tides may result in flooding along coastal trails, cut off
access to some low-lying beaches and coastal areas, and bring
water and waves farther up the beach than typical. If travel is
required, allow extra time as some roads may be closed. Do not
drive, bike, or walk around barricades or through water of
unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone
property.
