A bulletin has been issued by the National Tsunami Warning Center. A Tsunami Advisory is in effect for the California coast due to a large undersea earthquake (Magnitude 8.7) off the coast of Kamchatka Russia.

Tsunami activity is forecasted to impact our area at approximately 12:15 AM on Wednesday, July 30, 2025, and we anticipate that it will be dangerous dockside and aboard your vessel.

We are not recommending people come to the harbor, but monitor the situation and notify 911 if you know of someone in the immediate harbor area who may be in danger. For public safety purposes, access to the docks will be restricted.

The harbor patrol is actively watching docks, monitoring activity, securing lines, and contacting known liveaboards.

If you are aboard your vessel, it is recommended that you vacate your vessel and seek higher ground.
