The tsunami advisory in effect for Santa Cruz Harbor has been canceled. The full extent of damage to harbor infrastructure is still being assessed.
DOCK ACCESS INFORMATION
The following docks are now open in the southeast harbor: L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T. Power and water has been restored on these docks and liveaboards may return. Some hazards may remain, so please use caution dockside.
All other docks remain temporarily closed and are being assessed for damage to determine when access to vessels by slip licensees will be allowed. Additional guidance will be provided later this afternoon.
LIVEABOARD INFORMATION
Resources are available to registered liveaboards in need of temporary accommodations. Registered liveaboards may call the harbor office at (831) 475-6161 during regular business hours, or Santa Cruz Police Dispatch at 471-1131 (non-emergency) after-hours to be put in contact with Harbor Patrol for additional information.
ENTRANCE CHANNEL HAZARD
The dredge crew is currently working to clear several hazards within the main navigation channel. Primarily, the crew is working to free fouled anchors beneath the dredge, and disconnect and remove damaged pipeline. This type of work requires ample room to maneuver both Twin Lakes, and the workboat Dauntless. Mariners are advised to not transit the entrance until all hazards have been cleared.
If you have a safety issue to report or need to report a lost or found item, please report this to the harbor office by calling (831) 475-6161 during regular business hours.
We appreciate your ongoing patience and cooperating as we work to assess and secure the area.
