Many coastal locations have an increased risk of flooding this month from November 22 - 27. 📍 Communities near San Diego, CA, Eureka, CA, South Beach, OR, and Hilo, HI, have an especially high risk of flooding this month.  ❓This increased risk of flooding is due to higher-than-normal tides and water levels caused by the full moon, perigean spring tide (when the Moon is closest to the Earth), seasonal changes in water levels  🚙Disruptive levels of tidal flooding may occur, especially in low lying areas, resulting in water in roadways that are not usually wet during a typical high tide. Visit the Monthly Outlook to see the daily likelihood of high tide flooding in your area: https://lnkd.in/esjGZa67 Or visit NOAA’s Experimental High-Resolution High Tide Flooding Outlook to see more localized information for the U.S. East and Gulf coasts: https://lnkd.in/ev_WtGyF Note: These Outlooks do not account for the impacts of El Nino or weather conditions which could worsen or cause flooding outside of the dates identified here.

We are hiring! The National Geodetic Survey is looking for a Supervisory Administrative Officer/Business Manager to join the team in Silver Spring, Maryland. This position is at the Band 5 level (equivalent to GS-15) and offers an incredible opportunity to make a difference and drive real results. This posting closes on November 10, 2026.

NOAA tide station observations indicate that the perigean spring tide and persistent easterly winds are contributing to coastal flooding across Southeast, with many stations measuring over two feet above normal high tide. • Trident Pier, Port Canaveral, FL - 3.04 feet above MHHW (4th highest on record) - Station dates back to 1994 • Lake Worth Pier, Atlantic Ocean, FL - 2.70 feet above MHHW (new record) - Station dates back to 2010 • Kings Bay MSF Pier, GA - 2.61 feet above MHHW (5th highest on record) - Station dates back to 2022 • Virginia Key, FL - 2.54 feet above MHHW (3rd highest on record) - Station dates back to 1994 • South Port Everglades, FL - 2.52 feet above MHHW (new record) - Station dates back to 2018 • Mayport (Bar Pilots Dock), FL - 2.40 feet above MHHW (9th highest on record) - Station dates back to 1995 • Vaca Key, Florida Bay, FL - 2.27 feet above MHHW (4th highest on record) - Station dates back to 1971 • Key West, FL - 2.23 feet above MHHW (4th highest on record) - Station dates back to 1913 Elevated water levels are expected to continue for the next few days as strong easterly winds are forecast to persist.

NOAA tide station observations indicate oceanic Kelvin waves are contributing to new/broken water level records along the California coast, including some of the highest readings in over a century. San Diego, CA - 2.80 feet above mean higher high water (MHHW) - Station dates back to 1906 La Jolla, CA - 2.65 feet above MHHW - Station dates back to 1924 Los Angeles, CA - 2.70 feet above MHHW - Station dates back to 1923 Santa Barbara, CA - 2.65 feet above MHHW - Station dates back to 1974 These elevated water levels are the result of above-normal tides—caused by the full moon and perigean spring tide (when the Moon is closest to the Earth)—in addition to impacts from El Niño-driven Kelvin waves. More record-breaking water levels are possible today, with a continued risk of flooding and other coastal hazards.

El Niño driven Kelvin waves continue to impact the California coast, moving north towards Oregon and Washington. More Kelvin waves are likely to occur throughout the fall and winter during El Niño. These large-scale oceanic waves raise water levels and temperatures along the coast, increasing the risk of flooding and other coastal hazards. Wind, waves, and storms can worsen these potential impacts. Visit NOAA’s Coastal Inundation Dashboard to monitor real-time conditions at locations near you: https://lnkd.in/eg3FtTnZ
