NorCal Adventure Conditions Update
A summary of weather, surf and snow conditions around Northern California made exclusively for Urban Diversion of San Francisco.
Summary:
Cold and sunny weather is the name of the game for the next few days across Northern California. Tahoe may see a dusting of snow over the next two days along with frigid temps while the areas around the coast will see sunny skies and highs in the low 50’s. Expect user friendly, head-high surf from Marin to Santa Cruz with the best conditions each morning as offshores groom the surf.
Around Tahoe:
Not too much new to report around Tahoe in terms of snowfall. We may pick up an inch or two on the resorts from now until Wednesday. Expect cold temps with highs not getting above freezing, especially on Tuesday. Sharpen your edges, rip some groomers and get ready for the big dumps of powder later in the season.

Backcountry Conditions from the Sierra Avalanche Center:
The backcountry is hosting LOW danger for all elevations and aspects. Cold conditions and no snow have stabilized the snowpack, but the skiing will be icy.
Hike and Bike Conditions Around the Bay:
Dry, cool weather will pervail in the region for the next few days. Expect daytime highs in the upper 40’s to low 50’s and nighttime lows in the 30’s. A dry system will be moving through on late Monday-Tuesday that will bring strong winds to the region, adding to the chill. With a light jacket, conditions couldn’t be better for a bike tour, hike or trail run.
Surf Around the Region:
Surf from Marin to Santa Cruz looks great for the two day period. Offshore winds will dominate through the end of the week, but will be strong with the approaching system on Tuesday. Expect waves in the 4-6 foot range at top breaks, then backing off towards mid week. Be mindful of the large tide swings as we’re approaching a full moon. Now’s a great time to get out to places like OB that were super human during most of December, but now have manageable surf.
