Looks like this morning's high tide in San Francisco (with the recent surge) led to water levels higher than the prediction for the King Tide this coming Thursday.
A series of large wave events were recorded at CDIP stations along the WC as a result of storm activity in the Pacific. The pulse that arrived on 12/28 came close to historic records at some stations, and compounded by high tides, caused coastal flooding and erosion.
In 2023, WFO San Diego issued:
9 Severe Thunderstorm Warnings
2 Tornado Warnings
19 Flash Flood Warnings
1 Blizzard Warning
9 Winter Storm Warnings
...and...
1 Tropical Storm Warning
We had quite a year of weather. Check out this satellite image of Hurricane Hilary in Aug.

A Coastal Flood Advisory has been posted for areas adjacent to the San Francisco Bay until 1 PM. Tidal levels are running up to 0.50 foot above predictions resulting in minor coastal flooding. #CAwx

El Niño has arrived officially! @NOAA has issued an Advisory with a 56% of a strong episode by winter. Let the “not so” fun begin. https://t.co/AbT3wkVcas
Why teach theoretical coastal erosion when it is directly on display at the UC Santa Barbara campus. Not sure those students are sunbaking in the best spot!

Consistent with what coupled ocean-atmosphere dynamical models have been saying for a while now, NOAA's seasonal ENSO update today suggests a nearly 90% chance of #ElNino conditions in tropical Pacific Ocean by early winter. Big question: how strong will it get? #CAwater
