Surf's up, wave riders! Get ready for a wild ride along the Northern and Central California coastline. We're looking at some serious swell action that's going to make your board tremble with excitement.
Thursday's forecast is bringing monster waves to our west-facing beaches, with surf heights ranging from 13 to 19 feet - that's like a three-story building of water ready to challenge even the most seasoned surfers! Sonoma and Marin County are expecting the biggest punch, while San Francisco and San Mateo will see slightly tamer 14 to 18-foot waves.
Temperature-wise, we're sitting in a comfortable 56 to 69-degree range - not too hot, not too cold. Winds will be playing nice, mostly light and shifting between south and southeast at a gentle 2 to 6 miles per hour.
Tides are going to be dramatic, swinging from a low of negative 1.5 feet to a high of 7 feet. That's some serious vertical action that'll keep you on your toes.
Friday brings a bit of relief for those who found Thursday's waves intimidating. Surf heights will drop to a more manageable 7 to 14 feet. Monterey Bay and Big Sur will see the most mellow conditions with waves hitting 7 to 11 feet.
A coastal flood advisory is in effect through Saturday, so beach-goers should stay alert. A slight chance of rain might add some extra spice to your surf adventure, especially in San Francisco.
Water temperatures are hovering around 56 to 58 degrees - wetsuit weather for sure. The vibe is mostly cloudy with some patchy fog rolling in to add that classic California coastal mystique.
Local authorities recommend checking beach conditions before heading out. Stay safe, respect the ocean, and may your rides be epic!
