    Coastal Flood Advisory - 3:27pm Mon Oct 26 2026

    ...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM NOON TO 3 PM PDT TUESDAY...

    WHAT: High astronomical tides will cause minor flooding in low
    lying areas around Humboldt Bay. Up to one half foot of
    saltwater inundation above ground level is possible near
    shorelines and tidal waterways. Between 9.0 and 9.2 feet MLLW
    at the North Spit tide gauge is predicted.

    WHERE: Northern Coastal Humboldt County.

    WHEN: From noon to 3 PM PDT Tuesday. High tide is at 12:34 PM
    at the Humboldt Bay North Spit tide gauge. Saltwater inundation
    will be possible 1 to 2 hours before and after high tide.

    IMPACTS: Flooding of low lying areas around Humboldt Bay
    including parks and roads with only isolated closures
    expected. Flooding will likely impact Jackson Ranch Road in
    the Arcata Bottoms and several roads in King Salmon.

    PRECAUTIONARY / PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS:

    A Coastal Flood Advisory indicates that onshore winds and tides
    will combine to generate flooding of low areas along the shore.

    Feet Above Ground is locally defined as feet above the Highest
    Astronomical Tide or HAT.
