King tides
Next exceptionally high tides at five NOAA stations, and NOAA's annual high-tide flooding outlook where NOAA publishes one. El Niño Track is not a forecast agency.
A king tide is a popular, non-scientific name for an exceptionally high tide. NOAA Ocean Service.
Last stored fetch: 28 Sep 2026, 07:14 (Europe/Rome).
NOAA station Virginia Key, FL (8723214).
Next king-tide window: 10 Oct 2026.
NOAA's annual outlook for meteorological year 2026 projects 5 to 8 minor high-tide flood days at this station. That range is the published projection minus one standard deviation through plus one standard deviation. Calculated 24 Jun 2026. Method: Quadratic.
NOAA station South Port Everglades (8722956).
Next king-tide window: 26 Oct 2026 through 28 Oct 2026.
NOAA's annual high-tide flooding outlook has no published row for this station. We do not estimate how many days will flood.
NOAA station San Diego, CA (9410170).
Next king-tide window: 23 Dec 2026 through 24 Dec 2026.
NOAA's annual outlook for meteorological year 2026 projects 11 to 15 minor high-tide flood days at this station. That range is the published projection minus one standard deviation through plus one standard deviation. Calculated 24 Jun 2026. Method: Quadratic with ENSO Sensitivity.
NOAA station Newport Beach, Newport Bay Entrance (9410580).
Next king-tide window: 23 Dec 2026 through 24 Dec 2026.
NOAA's annual high-tide flooding outlook has no published row for this station. We do not estimate how many days will flood.
NOAA station Springmaid Pier, SC (8661070).
Next king-tide window: 27 Oct 2026 through 28 Oct 2026.
NOAA's annual outlook for meteorological year 2026 projects 8 to 12 minor high-tide flood days at this station. That range is the published projection minus one standard deviation through plus one standard deviation. Calculated 24 Jun 2026. Method: Quadratic.
How the window is chosen
A king-tide window is a run of days when the NOAA predicted high is within 0.10 ft of the highest predicted high in the stored span (the next 366 days). The band only groups those highs. It is not a NOAA flood threshold and not a forecast that a street will flood.
High-tide flooding in this outlook means days NOAA projects will reach the NOS minor flood threshold at the station. NOAA does not name streets, neighborhoods, or a depth on land in the products we store. We do not add any.
