farther up the beach than typical.

is expected to be 1.4 ft above normal (7.2 ft MLLW) at 1:14 PM
Tuesday 10/13. These predictions include up to 1.5 ft of surge

Pacific Coast and through the San Francisco Bay, respectively.

If travel is required, allow extra time as some roads may be
closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of
unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone
property.
