...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 5 AM PST
WEDNESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...
...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 7 PM WEDNESDAY TO
4 PM PST THURSDAY...

* WHAT...For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves up to 
  22 to 25 feet. For the Beach Hazards Statement, increased 
  threat of sneaker waves expected before the arrival of this 
  very large swell.

* WHERE...Coastal Del Norte, Northern Humboldt Coast and 
  Southwestern Humboldt Counties.

* WHEN...For the High Surf Advisory, from 7 PM Wednesday to 4 PM
  PST Thursday. For the Beach Hazards Statement, from late tonight
  through Wednesday afternoon.

* IMPACTS...Dangerous surf conditions and localized beach 
  erosion. Beachcombing is highly discouraged! Large, unexpected 
  waves can sweep across the beach without warning, sweeping 
  people into the sea from rocks, jetties, and beaches. These 
  sneaker waves can also move large objects such as logs, 
  crushing anyone caught underneath.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Large breaking waves along the coast will lead to increased wave
run-up on beaches with waves topping and washing over large rocks
and jetties. These large waves can be erratic and unpredictable.
Use extra caution near the surf zone as these large waves will be
capable of sweeping people into the frigid and turbulent ocean
water. Mariners traversing the bar are urged to exercise extreme
caution or stay in port until the threat subsides. Please contact
the U.S. Coast Guard for information regarding harbor and bar
closures.

Don't be fooled by an ocean that looks calm.  There can be
30 minutes of small waves before a sneaker wave strikes.  Avoid
rocks and jetties. Avoid steep beaches.  Stay much farther back
from the water and never turn your back on the ocean.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Eureka CA
217 PM PST Tue Jan 6 2026

.SYNOPSIS...Light rain and mountain snow return tonight through
Wednesday night. High pressure is expected to build in late this
week bringing dry conditions to Northwest California. Sneaker
waves are expected at the coast on Wednesday transitioning into
large surf on Thursday.

&&

.DISCUSSION...The heaviest rain has finally come to an end
allowing streams and rivers across the region to recede.
However, before we can completely dry out, another couple fronts
will bring light to moderate precipitation to primarily the
northern half of the forecast area tonight and then again on
Wednesday. Total precipitation from the two waves of precipitation
will likely range from a couple tenths of an inch to around three
quarters of an inch for coastal and valley locations of Humboldt,
Del Norte, and western Trinity counties with potentially over an
inch in the higher terrain. Snow levels will fall behind each
front, potentially to as low as 2500 feet in Del Norte county
before the snow comes to an end. Total snowfall in the higher
terrain will easily reach advisory criteria, but with very little
expected down to any highway passes, a winter weather advisory has
not been issued at this time. The main concern is highway 199
where light snow may reach the highway Wednesday night for a few
hours with up to an inch or two of snow possible. If trends point
to heavier snow at the tunnel then a winter weather advisory may
need to be introduced in future forecast packages.

In addition to the rain and mountain snow, northwesterly winds will
also ramp up behind the front. Wind gusts in excess of 20 mph will
be possible along the coast Wednesday afternoon and evening along
with many of the ridgetops across the entire region. Locally higher
gusts will be possible on the interior mountains, particularly in
Lake and eastern Trinity counties. Local gusts over 40 mph will be
possible in those areas in the wake of the frontal passage.

Dry conditions are expected beyond Wednesday for the next several
days. Overnight lows will be quite cold with lows in the 20s and 30s
across the region behind the cold front. The frost/freeze seasons
have concluded for all areas with the turn to the new year so no
frost headlines will be issued. However, overnight low temperatures
may approach 30F in portions of Lake and southern Mendocino counties
Thursday and particularly Friday mornings. The need for cold weather
advisories will have to be contemplated for those two mornings. A
warming trend will likely begin over the weekend. /RPA

&&

.AVIATION...(18Z TAFs)...VFR conditions prevail this afternoon with
light winds and elevated BKN-OVC ceilings. An approaching weather
system tonight will bring light rain and moderate southerly winds to
coastal terminals. A break in the rain is forecasted from about 16Z
until about 22Z tomorrow when more rainshowers are possible.
Ceilings are expected to remain in MVFR/VFR with only a 20%
probability of IFR for the North Coast. Inland, light winds remain
with lingering clouds. High resolution models show that some fog/low
cloud development is possible, yet a PROB30 has been issued for KUKI
as far due to forecast uncertainty.

&&

.MARINE...Weak high pressure will be briefly settling over the area
as the low pressure drifts southward. Winds will switch to 10 to 15
kt south to southwest over the northern waters while farther south,
the winds will turn more westerly. Northerly winds are expected to
return through the day on Wednesday as high pressure builds back
into the area. These are expected to peak around 15 to 25 Wednesday
night and Thursday morning.

The 11 second swell moving through the waters is gradually
diminishing and will continue to diminish through Wednesday. A
large, long period swell is expected to move into the waters
Wednesday and Thursday. Initially these waves may be around 3 to 4
feet at 23 seconds. These will build through the day and overnight
to around 17 to 19 feet at 18 seconds by Thursday morning. This is
about 2 feet over the wave watch 3 model and more in line with the
ECMWF wave model. Issued a hazardous seas watch to highlight the
potential for a swell over 17 feet.

The winds and seas are expected to diminish Friday, but the swell
may remain above 10 feet until Friday night. Calmer conditions are
expected on Saturday this coming weekend.

&&

.BEACH HAZARDS...Forecast confidence is growing that a large, long
period swell is expected to move into the waters Wednesday and
Thursday. The forerunners of this wave will start to build in
Wednesday around midday. Initially, these waves may be around 3 to 4
feet at 23 seconds before building to 5 to 8 feet by midday. There
will likely be set behavior with these long periods creating an
increased sneaker wave threat. There will be some background NW
swell and increasing northerly winds, but the sets may still be
distinct enough to catch some people off guard. After the front
runners of this wave group enter the coastal waters, the swell will
keep building overnight to around 17 to 19 feet at 18 seconds by
Thursday morning. Large breakers of 22 to 25 feet are expected for
west and northwest facing beaches. A high surf advisory has been
issued from 7 PM PST Wednesday until 4 PM PST on Thursday due to
these dangerous shoreline conditions.
