High Tide Flooding Outlook for December 2024Posted November 30, 2024Last Updated November 30, 2024 @ 8:13am By US Harbors Monthly High Tide Flooding Outlook, December 2024 While several locations on the East Coast and Gulf Coast have faced likely flooding in the past few months, in December only the West Coast and Hawaii are predicted to likely experience high-tide flooding. For those regions, the likely flooding days will see some of the highest tides of the year. Note that “likely” means that NOAA predicts a greater than 50% chance of flooding, as the predicted high tides will be very close to exceeding the flooding threshold. Real-time weather conditions, including wind direction and storm surge, could increase the potential for flooding. Make sure to print out the tide chart for your part of the coast so that you can keep track of the water in your favorite harbors. About these Predictions: “These flooding likelihoods are derived from a probabilistic model that incorporates tide predictions, sea level rise trends, and seasonal changes in coastal sea level to predict the potential that a higher than normal high tide may exceed established National Ocean Service flood thresholds. During these periods, high tide flooding may occur in flood-prone areas.” NOAA Northeast: Possible Flood Days Bar Harbor, ME — POSSIBLE Dec 13-17 Portland, ME — POSSIBLE Dec 13-17 Boston, MA — POSSIBLE Dec 13-17 Providence, RI — POSSIBLE Dec 14,15 Newport, RI — POSSIBLE Dec 14,15 Bridgeport, CT — POSSIBLE Dec 12-16 Mid-Atlantic: Possible Flood Days Kings Point, NY — POSSIBLE Dec 12-16 The Battery, NY — POSSIBLE Dec 13-16 Bergen Point West Reach, NY — POSSIBLE Dec 13-15 Sandy Hook, NJ — POSSIBLE Dec 13-16 Atlantic City, NJ — POSSIBLE Dec 13-16 Cape May, NJ — POSSIBLE Dec 13-16 Lewes, DE — POSSIBLE Dec 14-16 Wachapreague, VA — POSSIBLE Dec 14 Southeast: Possible Flood Days Duck, NC — POSSIBLE Dec 14,15 Springmaid Pier, SC — POSSIBLE Dec 14,15 Fort Pulaski, GA — POSSIBLE Dec 13-15 Port Canaveral, FL — POSSIBLE Dec 14,15 Gulf Coast: Possible Flood Days Morgan’s Point, Barbours Cut, TX — POSSIBLE Dec 1 Galveston, Pier 21, TX — POSSIBLE Dec 1-5 & 13-16 Eagle Point, Galveston Bay, TX — POSSIBLE Dec 1-20 & 26-31 West Coast: Likely & Possible Flood Days San Diego, CA — POSSIBLE Dec 13-16 La Jolla, CA — POSSIBLE Dec 14,15 Los Angeles, CA — POSSIBLE Dec 14,15 Santa Monica, CA — POSSIBLE Dec 14,15 Port San Luis, CA — POSSIBLE Dec 14,15 Monterey, CA — POSSIBLE Dec 13-15 Point Reyes, CA — POSSIBLE Dec 13-15 Arena Cove, CA — POSSIBLE Dec 13-16 North Spit, CA — POSSIBLE Dec 12,16,17,31; LIKELY flooding Dec 13-15 Port Orford, OR — POSSIBLE Dec 12-16 Charleston, OR — POSSIBLE Dec 12-17 South Beach, OR — POSSIBLE Dec 12,13,16,17,30,31; LIKELY flooding Dec 14,15 Toke Point, WA — POSSIBLE Dec 1,2,11-13,16,17,29-31; LIKELY flooding Dec 14,15 Hawaii: Likely & Possible Flood Days Kauai: Nawiliwili, HI — POSSIBLE Dec 13,14,16,17; LIKELY flooding Dec 15 Oahu: Honolulu, HI — POSSIBLE Dec 13,16,17; LIKELY flooding Dec 14,15 Mokuoloe, HI — POSSIBLE Dec 13,16,17,31; LIKELY flooding Dec 14,15 Maui: Kahului, HI — POSSIBLE Dec 1,2,13,17,30,31; LIKELY flooding Dec 14-16 Hawaii, Big Island: Hilo, Hilo Bay, Kuhio Bay, HI — POSSIBLE Dec 2,13,17,30,31; LIKELY flooding Dec 14-16 Kawaihae, HI — POSSIBLE Dec 2,13,17,30,31; LIKELY flooding Dec 14-16 If you see high tide flooding near you, please send us your photos and include the date, time, and location.
