Santana winds seem to be blowing out to sea north of San Francisco all the way to Nevada. You can see this on the smoke from the fires

If you paste this for the right time and date you will see what I'm talking about. This kind of thing will tend to blow these particular fires towards the ocean from wherever the fires are as long as these winds continue. On one level a fire hitting the ocean is a good thing because it cannot go into the ocean. On the other hand it is any houses or cities between where the fire is now and the ocean.

For example, fires tend to blow to the ocean from Malibu Canyon every two to five years almost like clockwork and people often have to take refuge in the ocean so they don't burn up in the fires any time of the year this happens.

Downwind of these fires eventually would be Mendicino, and Chico and places like this. However, this likely won't happen (the burn towards these cities because it is very very unlikely that the winds will continue more than 12 to 24 hours in this same exact direction. The fires likely would take several days to burn straight through to any of these cities and winds would have to be 50 mph or more in order to do this which is also very unlikely.
