A series of large WNW swell events are forecasted to impact our area from Friday, November 13, through Tuesday, November 17, with peak heights expected on Saturday, November 14, and again on Monday, November 16. Rain and wind are expected in addition to the large surf.

Forecast peak heights and timing may change as the events approach. Please refer to the National Weather Service (NWS) for updated forecasts.

Powerful surge conditions in the harbor and breaking surf in the 12–15-foot range are expected. Increased water levels may also cause flooding in various areas of the harbor. Please use caution when traveling through harbor parking lots, roadways, and walkways, and avoid flooded areas. Use caution at all times when aboard your vessel or dockside. Stay away from the water’s edge, and stay off jetties and rocks.

We highly recommend checking your vessel in advance of the swell and inclement weather. Please ensure that your vessel is secure, drains are clear, pumps are operable, and that dock lines and fenders are in good condition. Lines should be replaced and/or added as needed. Loose items on docks should be removed.
