Summary

Extreme king tides driven by a full moon, strong winds, and sea level rise from El Niño and marine heat waves caused record-breaking flooding across South Florida and Southern California in late October 2026. In South Florida, water levels reached over two feet above typical high tide marks in Fort Lauderdale and Miami, with flooded streets observed in Hollywood and Dania Beach. The National Weather Service labeled the South Florida event a major coastal flood. Affected areas included Miami Beach's North Bay Road and Collins Avenue, Fort Lauderdale's Riverwalk and Las Olas Boulevard, and roads in Palm Beach and Martin Counties including Ocean Boulevard near Mar-a-Lago. In Southern California, Newport Beach recorded its highest tide ever at 8.4 feet, with flooding also reported in Long Beach, Huntington Beach, and Redondo Beach. The Pacific Coast Highway and Metrolink Orange County Line were closed. Officials warned residents to avoid flooded roads and move vehicles to higher ground. Flood warnings remained active through Wednesday evening in South Florida and were expected to persist through Thursday in California, with additional severe tides anticipated around the November and December holidays.
