San Diego Beaches Flooded by Record-High Tides
US · Published Oct 28, 2026
• San Diego beaches are experiencing significant flooding due to potentially record-breaking high tides.
• The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a coastal flood warning for the entire San Diego County coastline, effective through Thursday afternoon.

Impact & Risks

The high tides are causing significant flooding in low-lying coastal areas, leading to road closures and potential damage to shoreline infrastructure. Residents in affected areas, particularly in Pacific Beach and Mission Bay, are advised to take precautions to protect their properties. The NWS has warned of the risk of shoreline erosion and has urged residents to avoid driving through flooded areas or around barricades. While some North County beach communities have fared better due to higher elevation, areas closer to sea level are experiencing more severe impacts.
