Good evening, this is your Northern and Central California surf zone forecast brought to you by the National Weather Service in San Francisco Bay Area.
Let's break down what's happening in the water this weekend starting with Sunday.
Up in Sonoma and Marin County, northwest facing beaches are looking at six to ten foot waves, while southwest facing breaks will see three to six feet. You'll want to bundle up with highs only reaching the low fifties to mid seventies, and the wind will be pushing from the northwest at nineteen miles per hour, gusting up to twenty five. No thunderstorms expected, just partly cloudy skies. Water temperature data is currently unavailable for this zone.
Moving south to San Francisco and San Mateo counties, conditions are slightly pumped. Northwest facing beaches will see seven to eleven footers, and southwest facing spots should pick up four to seven feet. Water temps are holding around fifty one degrees, so a wetsuit is definitely your friend here. Expect partly cloudy weather with highs in the mid fifties to low seventies. Winds will be lighter, starting at sixteen miles per hour from the northwest and bumping up to nineteen.
Down in Santa Cruz County, the surf looks comparable to the Bay Area with seven to eleven feet on northwest facing beaches and four to seven feet on southwest facing shores. This zone is a bit warmer with water temps around fifty four degrees. Highs will range from the mid fifties to mid seventies, and winds will be relatively light, starting at fourteen miles per hour and working up to nineteen.
Finally, over in Monterey Bay and Big Sur, things are a touch smaller but still very textured. Northwest facing beaches will see five to eight feet while south facing breaks pick up three to five feet. This southern zone has the warmest water of the forecast area at around fifty nine degrees, and it'll be the calmest for wind with only light five mile per hour breezes becoming thirteen miles per hour by afternoon.
Now let's look ahead to Monday.
Sonoma and Marin will dial back slightly to five to eight feet overall. Mostly cloudy skies will move in with highs in the mid fifties to low seventies. Winds will shift to twenty miles per hour becoming seventeen.
San Francisco and San Mateo counties will see six to nine foot waves on Monday, maintaining mostly cloudy conditions and slightly cooler temps in the mid fifties to upper sixties. Winds will be consistent at twenty miles per hour, easing to eighteen by afternoon.
Santa Cruz County will drop to five to eight feet Monday with mostly cloudy skies and highs from the upper fifties to mid seventies. Winds will hold steady around seventeen miles per hour from the northwest.
And finally, Monterey Bay and Big Sur will see four to seven foot waves Monday with partly cloudy skies and temps in the upper fifties to low seventies. Winds will be lighter, starting at ten miles per hour from the west and building to eighteen.
No thunderstorms are expected anywhere along the coast through Monday, so that's good news for anyone planning beach time. However, please check with your local authorities on any potential beach closures before heading out.
