Summary

NOAA Lists King-tide

NOAA’s seasonal high-tide bulletins list 2026 king-tide dates for South Carolina, e.g., Sept 29-30 and Oct 10-11.
Sea-level rise has lifted baseline water, causing tides that once stopped at seawalls to now overtop them.
Predictions show the Southeast will see seven more high-tide flood days per year than in 2000, a 550 % increase.
Hollywood Public Works crews are deploying extra tiger dams and barricades to mitigate floodwater intrusion.
