Heads Up: Dangerous Surf Conditions!
A High Surf Advisory is in effect from Saturday morning through Monday evening. Waves up to 20 feet are expected along west-facing beaches, meaning rip currents and sneaker waves could be dangerous. If you’re heading to the coast, be extra cautious.
What to Do?
- Keep an umbrella handy—this weekend’s rain could be steady.
- Avoid risky beach visits; big waves and strong currents can be life-threatening.
- Expect cooler temperatures and gusty winds, so layer up!
The good news? By Monday, the sun will be back. Stay safe and dry, SF!
