Summary

On October 26, 2026, high tides in Southern California resulted in significant coastal flooding in Newport Beach. The tidal surge inundated streets and businesses, with residents reporting that water levels reached approximately one foot in areas near 38th Street and River Avenue. The flooding, which left infrastructure in a damaged condition, prompted the city to declare a local emergency as municipal teams worked to install pumping equipment and strengthen sand barriers. The event was exacerbated by ocean water levels rising higher than expected due to a combination of factors, including El Niño and a Kelvin wave.
