Can San Francisco Be Hit By a Hurricane? - No. The temperatures of ocean water along the West Coast are colder than the water of the Atlantic Ocean and hurricanes (also called tropical cyclones) need warm water to form. When they form in the tropical Pacific Ocean, they move away from the West Coast of the United States.
