The statement is in effect until Friday July 10, at 5 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLong period SW swell will bring an increased risk of sneaker waves and strong rip currents,\u201d can be expected according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weather.gov\/mtr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">NWS San Francisco CA<\/a>. \u201cAt the San Francisco tidal gauge, high tide is expected to be 1.1 ft above normal (6.9 ft MLLW) at 7:25 p.m. 7\/9, 1.3 ft above normal (7.1 ft MLLW) at 8:17 p.m. 7\/10, 1.6 ft above normal (7.4 ft MLLW) at 9:11 p.m. 7\/11, 1.7 ft above normal (7.5 ft MLLW) at 10:06 p.m. 7\/12, 1.7 ft above normal (7.5 ft MLLW) at 11:01 p.m. 7\/13, 1.6 ft above normal (7.4 ft MLLW) at 11:55 p.m. 7\/14, 1.3 ft above normal (7.1 ft MLLW) at 12:48 a.m. 7\/16. These predictions include both astronomical tides and roughly 3-6 inches of additional water mainly from a combination of thermal expansion and accumulated sea level rise since the tidal datum was established (1983- 2001). High tide varies up to 90 minutes earlier or later along the Pacific Coast and through the San Francisco Bay, respectively.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDangerous conditions are forecast along the shoreline. Hazards include sneaker waves, strong rip currents, and large breaking waves. High tide flooding of lots, parks, and roads with only isolated road closures expected,\u201d according to the NWS. \u201cStay off of jetties, piers, rocks, and other waterside infrastructure. Remain out of the water to avoid hazardous surf and NEVER turn your back on the ocean 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/img_804357064_07090704443_WeatherWarningImage.png\"\/> <\/p>\n<p>For more weather alerts in the Bay Area, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eastbaytimes.com\/weather-advisory\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Weather Advisories<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"San Francisco County is the focus of a beach hazards statement issued at 9:59 p.m. on Wednesday by&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":391786,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[101,103,102,104,106,105,334],"class_list":["post-391785","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-headlines","tag-san-francisco-news","tag-sf","tag-sf-headlines","tag-sf-news","tag-weather-advisory"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/391785","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=391785"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/391785\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/391786"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=391785"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=391785"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=391785"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
