Surf's up, coastal warriors! Mother Nature's brewing a wild weekend along the California coastline, so grab your boards and your rain gear.
Starting in Sonoma and Marin, we're looking at some serious wave action with 6 to 10 foot swells rolling in on Sunday. Winds will be howling from the southeast at a gusty 24 miles per hour, so expect some choppy conditions. Temperatures will hover between a chilly 54 and 62 degrees with mostly cloudy skies and a chance of rain.
San Francisco and San Mateo are in for an even more dramatic surf scene with 7 to 11 foot waves crashing along the coast. Water temperature sits around a brisk 53 degrees, so wetsuit up! Southeastern winds will be whipping at 26 miles per hour before calming down, and rain is definitely on the menu.
Santa Cruz and Monterey Bay are serving up some monster waves for Monday. Southwest facing beaches could see swells reaching 9 to 13 feet - that's serious big wave territory for the pros. Water temperatures are mild in Monterey, ranging from 56 to 57 degrees, with air temperatures climbing to a comfortable 56 to 66 degrees.
Monday's forecast continues the maritime drama with persistent rain, cloudy skies, and southwest winds dancing across the coastline. Tides will be doing their roller coaster routine, dropping to negative levels in the morning before rising again.
Surfers and beach lovers, stay alert and check local conditions. These aren't your everyday waves, and safety always comes first. Catch the right one, ride hard, and respect the ocean's power!
