WHAT: Autumn is the main season for king tides, when higher-than-normal tides cause spot flooding along the coast, from the Intracoastal Waterway, and from other inlets and canals.
WHEN: The Palm Beach County Office of Resilience says king tides are expected during high-tide periods on the following days, when there is a potential for flooding:
• Oct. 7-10
• Nov. 4-8
• Dec. 3-6
The county office says the worst period is expected to be Nov. 5-7, when it predicts flooding will occur.
PREDICTION: “King tides for 2025 are not predicted to reach the moderate flood stage or the major flood stage, but various factors, including storms, may cause higher-than-expected sea levels and flooding,” the county office warns.
