Merry Christmas!! I’ll keep this short since it’s a holiday. Conditions FINALLY improve this weekend, and I wanted to send you the forecasts today,
It looks like for Christmas we are being blessed with better conditions starting this Saturday. I don’t know about you but I am sick of the storms so I am very happy. Like I said, I’m going to keep this one short and sweet it being Christmas and all. No articles, just the forecasts.

Bay Area Tides Social Media Report:
Sturgeon: Nothing new recently, going to call out Suisun Bay as the spot still.
Striped Bass: The Carquinez Strait is the only area with action on social media. Deeper in the Delta is of course going to be the hotspot, and we’re seeing activity there for sure.
Crab: Dungeness Crab consistent on the coast. Lots of good Rock Crab from the Golden Gate area.

Even if conditions are calm, water can still be dirty from the storm. Consider practicing catch and release and avoiding contact with the water in problem areas. If you are in SF visit https://webapps.sfpuc.org/sapps/beachesandbay.html for more info.
