Which is what you are now seeing as sea levels rise and water is coming in through waves and tides and flooding into homes on the coast all over the Gulf of Mexico and Florida and California. Now with Tropical Storm Rachel it is even worse in Southern California as well as the coastal flooding from high tides and big waves too. Soon there will be King Tides. This is when the King Tides hit California:
- November 24–26, 2026 (Coinciding with Thanksgiving)
- December 23–25, 2026 (Coinciding with Christmas)
- Northern California: Some northern locations may experience extended or additional dates, including December 22, 2026, and January 20 or January 23, 2027. [1]
- Height: These extreme high tides frequently reach 1 to 2 feet above average water levels (with peak waves or heights climbing over 7 feet in places like Los Angeles Harbor and San Diego). [1, 2, 3]
Would you like to know the exact high-tide peak times for a specific city or harbor near you?

So, it's really important to try to prepare for these King tides because if they coincide with any storms it could be a real disaster for Southern California especially where cliffs and beaches are being steadily eroded very early this year.
