Let's give you a live look outside. That is the Oakland Estuary sunset in the distance. Clouds, they've been rolling in off and on throughout the afternoon and now into the evening hours. And the big surf is coming, definitely. I did a little bit of research. On Saturday, we could possibly see a 50-foot wave at Pillar Point Mavericks. The last time we saw that was December 23rd of 2024, and before that was February of 2016. So we've only seen it happen twice in the past 10 years. I mean, that's got to be enticing for... The professional surfers out there, you've got to wonder if they're going to go out. No, they're not. They're not. The ones I've talked to say it's too hard getting in and too hard getting out. And it's just sloppy out there. It's violent in the water right now. Let's go ahead and take a look at what's going on in and around the Bay Area. Clouds begin to descend on the estuary between... 12 and 2 o'clock this afternoon, the winds began to increase as well. So what we're taking a look at right now, we're seeing winds up to 25 in San Francisco, 20 across the bay into our inland areas in Concord, 18 in Clear Lake. But as we forge ahead towards 10 o'clock tonight, we're going to see even gustier winds, 27 mile per hour winds in Half Moon Bay. And then as we forge ahead towards your Friday morning, it's going to be a double white knuckler over the bay bridges. And it looks like the CHP could... Potentially issue a wind advisory over those bridges. Now, by Friday afternoon, this is when we see the peak winds up to 34 mile per hour at Livermore Airport, 26 in the city. And the National Weather Service says potentially 50 mile per hour gusts in Half Moon Bay. So right now, the winds are relatively on the slight side in most locations. We do have a calm wind in Novato. Beach Hazard Statement, it is in effect through tomorrow late afternoon, 4, 6 o'clock. And then we see the... The surf tomorrow, the waves 20 to 35 feet, what we're talking about for your Saturday. That's when the waves will peak up to 30 feet, potentially 40 feet. And then it takes a nosedive on Sunday, but that's still pretty high. We have a coastal flood advisory in effect as well. Two now. One expires at 4 p.m. tomorrow. The other one begins at 12 a.m. Saturday to 6 p.m. We have so much more to talk about and we'll come up and we'll do that in a matter of minutes right after this.
