According to the National Weather Service, a Beach Hazards Statement remains in effect from 11 a.m. Sunday, April 6, until 11 p.m. Monday, April 7, due to elevated surf and strong rip currents.

Popular coastal areas like Ocean Beach, Baker Beach, and Pacifica State Beach are expected to be affected.
Light winds and mostly sunny skies will dominate Monday’s forecast, with a high near 65°F and cloud cover building into the night. Monday night will remain mostly cloudy with a low around 50°F, and winds from the west between 5 and 8 mph could make coastal conditions more unpredictable.
