Southern Monterey Bay and Big Sur Coast-
817 PM PDT Sun Sep 27 2026

...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 11 AM MONDAY TO 5 PM PDT
THURSDAY...

* WHAT...Up to 1.2 ft of inundation above ground level is
  possible in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways.

* WHERE...Bayshore locations along the San Francisco Bay, San
  Pablo Bay, and Monterey Bay.

* WHEN...From 11 AM Monday to 5 PM PDT Thursday.

* IMPACTS...Flooding of lots, parks, and roads with only
  isolated road closures expected. High tides will result in
  flooding along coastal trails, cut off access to some low-
  lying beaches and coastal areas, and bring water and waves
  farther up the beach than typical.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...At the San Francisco tidal gauge, high tide
  is expected to be 1.2 ft above normal (6.87 ft MLLW) at 12:57 PM
  Monday 9/28, 1.2 ft above normal (7.01 ft MLLW) at 1:30 PM
  Tuesday 9/29, 1.2 ft above normal (7.03 ft MLLW) at 2:10 PM
  Wednesday 9/30, and 1.2 ft above normal (6.92 ft MLLW) at 2:58
  PM Thursday 10/01. These predictions include up to 0.7 ft of
  surge that will enhance the astronomical tide and flooding
  threat. High tide varies up to 90 minutes earlier or later along
  the Pacific Coast and through the San Francisco Bay,
  respectively.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.
