San Diego Faces King Tides and Record Rainfall
San Diego Faces King Tides and Record Rainfall
US · Published Nov 3, 2026
• San Diego is experiencing the effects of a strong winter weather pattern influenced by El Niño.
• A powerful jet stream between Hawaii and California is directing moisture-rich storms to the West Coast.

Impact & Risks

The recent high tide caused minor flooding in several coastal areas, including Point Loma and Pacific Beach. While the immediate impacts have been limited, the combination of future storms and king tides could lead to more significant flooding. Residents in low-lying coastal areas should remain vigilant, especially during the forecasted king tide periods in late November and December. The increased rainfall and potential for flooding may disrupt travel and damage property in vulnerable areas.
