Surf's up, coastal crew! Listen up for your Northern and Central California wave report.
A Beach Hazards Statement is in effect, so grab your board and your caution. Northwest beaches are pumping with 8 to 12-foot swells tomorrow, while south-facing shores will see a solid 6 to 9-foot ride. San Francisco and San Mateo zones are looking at west-facing beaches serving up 7 to 11-foot waves with southern exposures offering a more mellow 4 to 7-foot playground.
Santa Cruz and Monterey Bay are bringing their own swell game with consistent 6 to 9-foot sets. Water temperatures are hovering around a chilly 53 to 58 degrees, so don your wetsuit and prepare for some epic California coastal action.
Weather-wise, we're looking at partly cloudy skies with temperatures ranging from a crisp 53 to a surprisingly warm 78 degrees. Winds will be dancing northwest at 4 to 12 miles per hour, perfect for those who love a little coastal breeze.
Tide schedule highlights include low tides hitting bottom around 3 AM, with high tides peaking mid-morning and late evening. The lowest point dips to nearly zero feet, while high tides will reach a respectable 5.2 feet.
Wednesday promises slightly smaller waves but still plenty of stoke with 4 to 10-foot sets depending on your coastal zone. Monterey Bay even teases a mostly sunny forecast to sweeten the deal.
One critical reminder: check with local authorities about potential beach closures. Stay safe, stay stoked, and ride those waves responsibly!
