Surf's up, wave riders! Get ready for an epic weekend of coastal action along Northern and Central California's stunning shoreline. Saturday's looking like a wild ride with towering 6 to 10-foot swells charging into Sonoma, Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Cruz beaches.

Northwest winds are cranking up to a solid 33 miles per hour, so expect some serious chop and spray. The air temperature will hover between a crisp 48 to 64 degrees, so pack that wetsuit and some layers. Water temps are hovering around a brisk 53 degrees in San Francisco - definitely full rubber conditions.

But hold onto your boards, because Sunday is when things get truly epic! Northwest facing beaches are forecasting monster 10 to 15-foot waves that'll have hardcore surfers drooling. Santa Cruz and San Francisco zones are looking particularly gnarly, with northwest swells promising some serious barrel potential.

The weekend weather trend shifts from mostly cloudy on Saturday to mostly sunny on Sunday, giving you perfect visibility to read those incoming sets. Temperatures will warm up nicely, climbing to a comfortable 55 to 70 degrees.

Wind will be predominantly northwest but slightly mellowing out, ranging from 13 to 27 miles per hour depending on your specific coastal zone. Tides will be dynamic, with some interesting low points dipping to negative feet - creating some unique wave dynamics.

One critical note: local authorities recommend checking beach conditions before heading out. Always respect the ocean and know your limits. Stay stoked, stay safe, and may the waves be ever in your favor!
