High Tides Predicted For Local Coastlines

The National Weather Service is predicting very high tides for the Southern California coast, though offshore winds and small waves will lessen the possibility of destructive tidal flooding.

High tides may reach 7.6 feet above the mean tide in the morning over the next four days. However, waves are predicted to be less than three feet high, which by Pacific coast winter standards is practically flat.

Because of the full moon and relative position of the earth, the natural pull on the ocean is at its highest levels this week, and will culminate in a 7.6-foot high tide at 7:43 a.m. tomorrow.

Tides at that level sometimes back up storm drains at low-lying locations like Seal Beach.
