| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Francisco CA 1254pm PDT Sat September 5 2026 .SHORT TERM... Issued at 1253pm PDT Sat September 5 2026 (This evening through Sunday night) Hazardous conditions at Pacific Coast beaches will be the main story through Monday. Long period southerly swell from distant Hurricane Marie will result in an increased risk for sneaker waves and strong rip currents with breaking waves up to 10 feet. The ocean is not your friend this weekend, so enjoy the unofficial end of summer anywhere but the beach. Sensible weather wise, well below normal temperatures and onshore flow will continue through Sunday. The marine layer continues to be the lowest confidence aspect of the short term forecast. The 12Z sounding found a temperature inversion at 1,400 feet; however, boundary layer winds were not onshore and thus clouds struggled to form. The normal marine layer may continue to struggle to form through the weekend with little forcing in place. As upper-level ridging nudges in from the east on Monday, a gradual warming and drying trend will commence and the marine layer is slated to return. Long Term Issued at 1253pm PDT Sat September 5 2026 (Monday through next Friday) Global ensemble clusters have come into much better agreement with the long term forecast, especially Tuesday through Thursday. Upper- level ridging will continue to build in from the east on Tuesday; simultaneously, a cutoff low will dig well off the West Coast and pickup what will likely be Post-Tropical Cyclone Marie. The farther west track of the low and a stronger ridge has led to a warmer and drier forecast. Even though we are now expected to be on the fringes of it, the upper-level pattern will act as a conveyor belt for remnant tropical moisture with cyclonic flow to the west and anti- cyclonic flow to the east. Rainfall totals up to 0.10" can be expected, favoring coastal and higher terrain locations. Temperatures will moderate to near normal and climb up to 10 degrees above normal by Thursday, introducing minor to moderate HeatRisk. Marine (Tonight through next Thursday) Issued at 1253pm PDT Sat September 5 2026 West to northwest breezes will be gentle to moderate through the beginning of next week. Diurnal moderate to strong breezes are expected across the San Pablo, San Francisco and Monterey Bays today into the beginning of next week. Long period southerly swell will continue to impact the coastal waters through much of the upcoming week. Fresh to strong gusts become more widespread late weekend into early next week before winds decrease by midweek. Beaches Issued at 1010pm PDT Wednesday September 2 2026 A Beach Hazards Statement is in effect Friday-Monday as the swell from both Hurricane Marie and Hurricane Karina reaches the coast. As these hurricane whip up the ocean, the waves travel over 1,000 miles in all directions, gradually flattening out to low amplitude, but long period swell. These waves aren't very intimidating if you're on a boat in the open ocean, but the long period allows them to push much farther up the beach. Long period swell always increases the chance for sneaker waves, but that's particularly true this weekend since there are 2 different sets of southerly swell, and their energy will periodically combine. In addition to sneaker waves, expect strong rip currents and breaking waves up to 10 ft. As this is a holiday weekend and the weather is otherwise pretty nice, the exposure to the risk is high. Avoid the water if you're not an expert swimmer. If caught in a rip current, swim parallel to shore until you stop feeling the pull. Even on the beach, be prepared for sneaker waves this weekend and never turn your back on the ocean.
