New Facts: Coastal Flood Advisory Issued for San Diego

By Tuesday, a Coastal Flood Warning covered the entire San Diego County coastline through 1 p.m. Thursday, driven by abnormally high morning tides rather than rain. The week began under a Coastal Flood Advisory. Water levels are running about 1 to 1.7 feet above predicted tides, and a Sunday morning high already topped 8 feet.

The greatest risk comes during the morning high tides each day. Large surf is not expected, but the elevated water level means even small waves can push farther inland, flooding low-lying roads, parking lots, walkways and some properties, with shoreline erosion possible. Areas of low clouds and patchy fog may return along the coast, especially Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.
