What, impacts and precautionsHide details
What
Minor to moderate coastal flooding expected due to very high tides.
Impacts
Minor to moderate flooding of sea water is likely over vulnerable low-lying coastal areas, especially around the time of high tide, including over beach parking lots, bike paths, and harbor walkways. Moderate to significant beach erosion is likely. Isolated damage of structures due to sea water inundation is possible.
Additional details
High tides will likely reach 7.5-8.0 feet (around 1.1 to 1.5 feet above astronomical projections) Sunday- Thursday, peaking Monday-Wednesday. High tides will peak in the morning hours. There is a small chance for isolated Coastal Flood Warnings (highest chances Wednesday-Thursday) if larger surf develops.
