Current Conditions

Today, mostly sunny skies and winds from the north at 7-9 mph will create mild, slightly choppy conditions, suitable for swimmers in the cove and rowers who may prefer wooden whitehalls or coastal boats due to the afternoon choppiness. A strong ebb is expected in the early afternoon, making it favorable for rowing towards the Ferry Building or Bay Bridge, and swimmers should be cautious along Muni Pier. The water temperature remains steady at 54.1°F, with high tide at 10:25 AM and a very low tide of -0.99 ft at 5:21 PM, offering chances to see marine life at the breakwater.
