Axios San Diego: King tides — a “non–scientific term used to describe exceptionally high tides,” per the National Ocean Service — generate interest because they can offer a preview of what sea-level rise might mean for our coastlines and infrastructure.
“The water level reached by an extreme tide today will be the same water level of more frequent moderate tides in the future,” according to the California King Tides project, a community program managed by the California Coastal Commission highlighting the phenomenon. “Seeing what areas flood during these events can help us plan for the future.”
Yes, but: The worst flooding occurs when high tides coincide with high surf, and that doesn’t look likely in the coming days, said Adam Roser, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s San Diego office.
“If we get a winter storm or anything like that, it can have more significant impacts,” Roser said.
