  • Summary

  • Surf's up, wave riders! Get ready for a gnarly weekend along the Northern and Central California coastline. The Pacific is brewing up a storm of epic proportions that'll have adrenaline junkies and cautious beachgoers alike taking notice.

    We're looking at a High Surf Advisory blasting from 6 AM Saturday through 4 PM Sunday, with monster waves that'll make even seasoned surfers think twice. West-facing beaches are going to be absolutely radical, with surf heights climbing from 11 to 21 feet depending on the zone. Sonoma and Marin County are expecting a wild ride with 15 to 19-foot waves today, ramping up to 16 to 21 feet on Sunday.

    San Francisco and San Mateo coastal areas aren't far behind, with west-facing beaches serving up 12 to 16-foot swells today, escalating to 16 to 21 feet tomorrow. Santa Cruz and Monterey Bay are joining the wave party, with impressive heights ranging from 8 to 20 feet across different coastal regions.

    Weather-wise, expect mostly cloudy conditions with rain likely. Temperatures will hover between a cool 52 and 68 degrees, with winds shifting from south to southeast, blowing anywhere from 8 to 25 miles per hour.

    Water temperatures are chilly, sitting around 53 to 54 degrees - so grab that wetsuit! Tides will be dynamic, with multiple high and low cycles throughout the day.

    Pro tip: Local authorities are strongly recommending you check beach conditions before heading out. This isn't your average weekend surf - these are serious waves that demand respect. Stay safe, stay smart, and if you're not a professional, maybe enjoy this maritime spectacle from the shore.

    Catch you on the flip side, wave warriors!
