Unsettled Weather in the West; Marine and Coastal Impacts Along the East Coast

A series of Pacific fronts will bring periodic waves of showers and thunderstorms to parts of the Great Basin and Pacific Northwest the next few days. Swells, high surf, dangerous rip currents and areas of coastal flooding continue along much of the East Coast from both Humberto and Imelda. Unseasonably hot temperatures continue for much of the Plains and Midwest through the remainder of the week. Read More >

Last Map Update: Wed, Oct 1, 2025 at 6:52:41 pm PDT

A 10-13 ft swell will impact the Northwest California coast beginning Wednesday morning. A moderate risk of sneaker waves will exist Wednesday through Thursday with the highest risk in Humboldt and Del Norte counties. The risk is elevated because several beaches continue to have their summer steep beach profiles with extra sand buildup. Waves may erode the beach profile quickly and wash farther up beaches than usual. Stay far back from the surf and never turn your back on the ocean!
