The National Weather Service is predicting high surf, heavy rain, and significant wind for our area over the next 48 hours.

A High Surf Warning will be in effect from 3:00 PM Thursday, February 13, 2025, to 3:00 AM Saturday, February 15, 2025. Breaking waves in the range of 20-30 feet are possible. The long-period (15-second interval) west swell is forecast to arrive during the afternoon hours on Thursday, with the peak arriving during the early morning hours of Friday. The swell is forecast to slowly decrease throughout the day Friday and into the early morning hours of Saturday.

While this weather event is not expected to be as impactful as the surge event on December 23, 2024, surge conditions in the harbor and breaking surf at the entrance are anticipated. Please exercise extreme caution at all times aboard your vessel or dockside.

We highly recommend checking your vessel in advance of the weather. Please ensure that your vessel is secure, drains are clear, pumps are operable, and dock lines and fenders are in good condition. Replace or add lines as necessary.
