September 26, 2023 – Higher Than Normal Tides Expected, Coastal Flood Warning In Effect

September 26, 2023

HIGHER THAN NORMAL TIDES EXPECTED – COASTAL FLOOD WARNING IN EFFECT

One to two feet of inundation above ground level is expected in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways.

The persistent Northeast winds, forecasted to continue over the next few days, are preventing bay levels from returning to their usual norms. Adding to the concern, a New Moon is slated for Friday, which sets the stage for a series of potentially impactful flooding events, commencing with tonight’s high tide at 6:45 PM.

Residents are advised to be aware that moderate flooding is expected, as the second high tide of each day through Saturday is anticipated to exceed normal levels.

Specifically, residents residing west of Third Avenue, are strongly encouraged to relocate their vehicles to higher ground, starting from Second Avenue and eastward.

September 24, 2023 Post Storm Update

September 24, 2023

After yesterday’s storm, we’re pleased to report that beaches remain in good condition. You may notice some minor scarping at the water’s edge. Beaches from 115th to 119th Street, which weren’t part of the recent sand replenishment, have fared well, also.

However, please exercise caution when visiting the beach. Many of the crossovers are currently covered with windswept sand, making them difficult to traverse. Additionally, we kindly request that everyone respects the dunes. These natural barriers did an excellent job during the storm in protecting our coastline, so let’s not damage them. Enjoy the beach responsibly!

All roads are open and passable. Please be careful of debris in the roadway while driving.

The solid waste convenience center is open at 81st Street near Third Ave, since flooding has subsided. Please note this facility is NOT for bulk trash. We have another bulk pick up scheduled for October 16th.

* WHAT…For the Coastal Flood Warning, one to two feet of inundation above ground level in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways. For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves of up to 9 feet in the surf zone. For the High Rip Current Risk, dangerous rip currents.

* WHERE…Atlantic Coastal Cape May, Coastal Atlantic and Coastal Ocean.

* WHEN…For the Coastal Flood Warning, until 8 PM EDT this evening. For the High Surf Advisory, until 4 AM EDT Sunday. For the High Rip Current Risk, through Sunday evening.

* IMPACTS…At this level, widespread roadway flooding occurs in coastal and bayside communities and along inland tidal waterways. Many roads become impassable. Some damage to vulnerable structures may begin to occur. Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions and localized beach erosion. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water.
