Coastal Flood Advisory Extended for Bay Area
Coastal Flood Advisory Extended for Bay Area
US · Published Oct 28, 2026
• A Coastal Flood Advisory has been extended through Friday across the Bay Area due to higher-than-average high tides, which are causing minor coastal flooding.
• This advisory is part of a broader set of coastal flood alerts impacting much of California's coastline, from the Bay Area to Southern California.

Impact & Risks

The advisory warns of minor flooding in low-lying coastal areas across the Bay Area, particularly during high tide events. Residents and businesses near the coast may experience temporary water inundation, which could disrupt transportation and damage property. The elevated sea surface temperatures, driven by El Niño and a Kelvin wave in the Pacific, are exacerbating the situation. While the flooding is expected to remain minor, it could still pose risks to those in vulnerable areas, especially during peak high tides.
