Stay off of California beaches today. Tsunami activities (wave heights of 1 to 2 feet, rip tides and coastal flooding) are hitting California beaches this morning. It's all because of an undersea volacano eruption in Tonga.
The National Weather Service said the tsunami activity was supposed to hit Monterey around 7:30 a.m. and San Francisco around 8:10 a.m. Beaches in Southern California were supposed to see impacts beginning around 7:50 a.m. Many beaches and piers were closed Saturday morning. Berkeley closed its marina and urged people to seek higher ground.
Officials said some coastal areas could see wave heights of 1 to 2 feet. “Main impacts expect to be strong rip currents, coastal flooding, and inundation of low lying areas is possible. Move to higher ground,” NWS said.
