The oceans are higher than normal because of more melting ice caps and glaciers. But, add to this the ocean is higher when it is hotter and this could be a more deadly problem when you add really high tides and storms. So, you then have to add glacier melt, hotter ocean so higher from heat and then tides and storms. So, if you have a perfect storm of combining all these things at once then you are likely going to see whole communities possibly washed away or flooded by ocean waters or rivers backed up by the higher ocean and causing the flooding of coastal communities more than before.
So, if you live near the ocean or live near a river or estuary that feeds into the ocean be prepared for high Tides when they combine with storms going through your area anywhere from California to the south.
