The National Weather Service has cancelled a tsunami advisory for the California coastal region that includes the San Francisco Bay Area.
The advisory went into effect yesterday after an 8.8 magnitude earthquake rocked a coastal region of Russia, setting off tsunami warnings across the Pacific and an advisory along the West Coast.

The National Weather Service predicted tides could reach the Bay Area early Wednesday morning, urging people to stay away from the waterfront and know their evacuation route.
In Richmond, the highest tide was 0.8 ft at 2:41 a.m. Wednesday morning, San Francisco and Point Reyes saw higher tides at 1.2 ft and 2.6 ft.
The alert was lifted on Wednesday at 11:00 a.m., with the NWS cautioning some areas may continue to experience small sea level changes.
"Local conditions can cause a wide variation in wave action. Dangerous currents and fast tidal swings will persist through today. These conditions are hazardous to swimmers, boats, and coastal structures."
