Coastal Flood Advisory issued October 28 at 1:46PM PDT until October 30 at 5:00PM PDT by NWS San Francisco CA
* WHAT...Up to 1.9 ft of inundation above ground level is possible in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways. * WHERE...Pacific Coast. * WHEN...Until 5 PM PDT Friday. * IMPACTS...High tides will result in flooding of low-lying infrastructure, isolated road closures, and coastal erosion. Rising tides will bring water and waves farther up the beach than normal, restricting escape from beaches and coastal areas. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...At the San Francisco tidal gauge, high tide is expected to be 1.9 ft above normal (7.7 ft MLLW) at 01:43 PM Thursday 10/29, and 1.6 ft above normal (7.4 ft MLLW) at 02:39 PM Friday 10/30. These predictions include up to 1.2 ft of surge that will enhance the astronomical tide and flooding threat. High tide varies up to 90 minutes earlier or later along the Pacific Coast and through the San Francisco Bay, respectively.
About
Bodega Dunes Campground is the primary camping facility at Sonoma Coast State Park, situated among spindly cypress trees and rolling sand dunes just north of Bodega Bay. The 99-site campground accommodates both tents and RVs up to 31 feet, though no hookups are available. Each site includes a fire ring and picnic table, with flush restrooms, token-operated hot showers, potable water, and a dump station serving the campground. The campground offers a communal hike/bike site at sites 82-83 for travelers arriving on foot or by bicycle. Four ADA-accessible campsites and four accessible restrooms with showers are available, though shifting sand conditions may occasionally affect surface firmness. Beach wheelchairs can be borrowed on-site. Sonoma Coast State Park stretches along 17 miles of dramatic coastline featuring rocky headlands, secluded coves, and sandy beaches. While dogs are permitted in the campground on leash, they are prohibited on the dunes and beaches. The campground provides convenient access to coastal hiking, tidepooling, and wildlife viewing, though swimming is not recommended due to dangerous currents and cold water temperatures.
Directions
From Highway 101 in Petaluma, take the East Washington Street exit and head west. Continue as it becomes Bodega Avenue, then Highway 1. The campground is located about 1 mile north of Bodega Bay on Highway 1.
