Water level, last 48 hours
Measured 2.25 ft at 12:24 AM, 0.55 ft above the prediction. Highest in 48 hours: 2.74 ft at Sun 5:36 PM.

Storm surge
Measured less predicted: +0.55 ft now; over 48 hours, +0.16 ft to +0.75 ft. Wind, air pressure and river flow move the water off the tide table.
Coastal flood thresholds
| Minor flooding | 4.0 ft |
| Moderate flooding | 5.0 ft |
| Major flooding | 6.0 ft |
The water is 1.74 ft below minor flood level now. Highest predicted tide in the next 7 days: 2.3 ft on Sun, Oct 4 at 1:00 AM, 1.7 ft below minor flooding. Thresholds are the National Weather Service’s, used for its coastal flood advisories and warnings, in feet above MLLW.
High tide flooding
Flooding at high tide on calm, sunny days, with no storm: the days a year the water reaches NOAA’s flood thresholds, counted from May to April, and the days expected ahead as the sea rises.
From May 2025 to April 2026 the water reached minor high tide flooding on 1 day. NOAA’s outlook for May 2026 to April 2027 is 4 to 14 days.

Thresholds
| Flooding | Above MHHW | Above MLLW | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minor | 1.71 ft | 3.52 ft | Disruptive: flooded low roads and yards, and overwhelmed storm drains |
| Moderate | 2.68 ft | 4.49 ft | Typically damaging to homes and businesses near the water |
| Major | 3.91 ft | 5.72 ft | Often destructive |
NOAA’s national high tide flooding thresholds, set from the tide range so they compare from one gauge to the next. MHHW is the average of each day’s higher high tide; MLLW is the zero of this page’s tide tables. Where the National Weather Service has set flood levels of its own (under Water level), those drive its coastal flood advisories and can differ.
Flood days ahead
NOAA’s likeliest range for 2050: 210 to 250 days a year of minor flooding, between the Intermediate and Intermediate-High scenarios, and 25 to 40 days of moderate.

What this means
Heights are feet above mean lower low water (MLLW): the average of the lower of each day’s two low tides over NOAA’s 19-year tidal epoch, and the zero of US tide tables and nautical charts. A low tide below that average is printed as a negative height.
Predictions are astronomical. They account for the moon and the sun, not the weather: onshore wind, low air pressure and high river flow hold the water above the prediction, offshore wind and high pressure hold it below. The water level above measures the difference.
Spring tides, the largest ranges of the month, follow the new and full moon by a day or two. Neap tides, the smallest, follow the quarter moons.
