Seasonably cool weather will continue across the Bay Area before a warming trend arrives during the second half of the week, while beachgoers are being warned of dangerous surf conditions beginning Tuesday.
A persistent marine layer will continue bringing low clouds inland each evening and overnight before retreating toward the coast during the morning and afternoon, according to a National Weather Service advisory on Monday. Temperatures are expected to remain near or below seasonal averages through Tuesday before gradually climbing later in the week.
The greatest concern is along California’s Pacific coast, where a long-period southwest swell is expected to increase the risk of sneaker waves, strong rip currents and breaking waves up to 10 feet from Tuesday through Friday. Forecasters warned south and southwest-facing beaches in the North Bay, San Francisco, the Peninsula, and Santa Cruz and Monterey counties face the highest risk.
The weather service urged inexperienced swimmers and boaters to stay out of the water and warned that long-period swells can produce powerful waves over jetties, rocks and other areas that may appear safe. Beachgoers are also reminded never to turn their backs on the ocean.
