US · Published Nov 13, 2026
• A Coastal Flood Advisory has been issued for the Tillamook County coast in Oregon, effective from noon to 4:00 PM PST on Friday, November 13,
• The advisory warns of tidal overflow flooding, with water levels expected to rise up to one foot above ground level in low-lying areas near bays, sloughs, and coastal rivers. Additionally, a High Surf Warning is in effect from noon to midnight PST, with breakers anticipated to reach heights of 30 to 35 feet. The Garibaldi tidal gauge is forecast to hit approximately 10.5 feet during high tide, which may result in localized flooding, particularly along Burton-Fraser Road near the Tillamook River.

Impact & Risks

The advisory highlights risks of minor flooding in low-lying coastal areas, including potential flooding of roads and properties near bays and rivers. High surf conditions pose significant dangers, including destructive waves, severe beach erosion, and the threat of sneaker waves, which can unexpectedly knock individuals off their feet and pull them into the ocean. These conditions may lead to serious injuries or drowning. Residents and visitors are urged to exercise caution, especially near beaches, jetties, and other coastal structures.
