High Tide Flooding Outlook for September 2024Posted August 29, 2024Last Updated August 30, 2024 @ 8:49am By US Harbors. Monthly High Tide Flooding Outlook, September 2024 NOAA says to expect higher tides on and around the new moon and full moon dates (known as spring tides), which will occur on September 2nd and September 17th, respectively. Higher than normal high tides and lower than normal low tides will occur around the perigean spring tide, when the Moon is full and closest to Earth. In addition, mean sea level is generally higher in the early fall months due to warmer, expanding ocean water and changes in weather patterns. Make sure to print out the tide chart for your favorite harbor so that you can monitor exactly when the water level will be highest (and lowest) in your area. Kings Point, New York, is likely to see coastal flooding on September 19, although flooding is possible from September 17-21. On the Gulf Coast, Galveston Bay, Texas, is likely to experience flooding on September 24 and 25, while flooding is possible in that location for the entire month. The last two weeks of the month will see the highest and lowest tides, with flooding possible in numerous locations along the East and Gulf Coasts. Hawaii, which saw some of its highest tides of the year last month, will see only three days, September 15-17, with flooding possible. See the details on the locations where NOAA is predicting possible and likely coastal flooding this month: Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Gulf Coast, and Hawaii. 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 — September 19-21 Mid-Atlantic: Possible Flood Days Kings Point, NY — September 17,18 & 20,21, with LIKELY flooding Sept 19 Atlantic City, NJ — September 17, 19-21 Southeast: Possible Flood Days Springmaid Pier, SC — September 16-21 Fort Pulaski, GA — September 16-22 Gulf Coast: Possible Flood Days Cedar Key, FL — September 15-24 Bay Saint Louis, MS — September 10-16 and 21-26 Eagle Point, Galveston Bay, TX — September 1-23 & 26-30, with LIKELY flooding Sept 24,25 Hawaii: Likely & Possible Flood Days Oahu: Honolulu, HI — September 15 Maui: Kahului, HI — September 15-17 Hawaii, Big Island: Hilo, Hilo Bay, Kuhio Bay, HI — September 14-17 Kawaihae, HI — September 15,16 If you see high tide flooding near you, please send us your photos and include the date, time, and location.
