Heavy Rain, King Tides Flood Parts of San Francisco, Bay Area

King tides make for weird sessions. With the water level swinging about 8-feet throughout the day, you’re either surfing during an abnormal high, an astonishing low, or a rapidly rising/dropping tide that changes the takeoff spot and the shape of the wave. 

Much of the Bay Area hasn’t been surfing over the last month-plus due to a series of storms that hit the region in early December, before Christmas, and after New Year’s Eve. It was during the latter when the king tides kicked in around the San Francisco Bay.
