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
Sweetwood Group Camp offers an intimate group camping experience within Half Moon Bay State Beach, situated in a picturesque cypress grove between Venice and Dunes beaches. The campground accommodates up to 50 people and 12 vehicles, making it ideal for scout troops, family reunions, or group outings. The site features a large open field with a central picnic area and a single fire ring for gathering. This is a tent-only campground with no RVs or trailers permitted. Facilities include pit toilets, though campers should bring their own water as none is available on-site. One section of the group camp has been made ADA-accessible, including tables, a food preparation area, fire ring, and accessible pathways to the vault-style restroom. The campground sits just a short walk from the Coastside Trail and provides easy access to the beautiful beaches of Half Moon Bay. Dogs are permitted in the campground but must remain on a leash no longer than six feet and cannot be left unattended outdoors. Dogs are prohibited on the beach.
