The National Weather Service has issued a Coastal Flood Advisory in effect for Ocean City, Strathmere and nearby coastal areas from 12 p.m. Wednesday (Oct. 29) through 8 p.m. Thursday (Oct. 30).

Strong and steady northeast winds and heavy rain will combine to cause “minor” coastal flooding during high tide cycles on Wednesday and Thursday afternoon's.

Water levels are predicted to crest in the hours around high tide on the bay side (Ninth Street Bridge) of Ocean City at 2:14 p.m. Wednesday and 3:17 p.m. Thursday. High tide on the bay side of Strathmere near Corson’s Inlet is at 2:01 p.m. Wednesday and 3:03 p.m. Thursday.

The NWS predicts a peak water level of 5.9 feet on the mean low water scale (MLW) on Wednesday and 6.0 feet MLW on Thursday. By comparison, the water level peaked at 6.95 feet MLW during the Columbus Day nor’easter and 7.06 feet MLW as Hurricane Erin passed by in August. Visit www.ocnj.us/octides to compare this prediction to other recent and historic tide levels.

Residents should be prepared to monitor conditions and to move vehicles to safe places well in advance of these high tides. The roads closer to the beach including Central and Wesley avenues are typically at higher elevation. Parking is free at all municipal lots in Ocean City.

For your safety and the protection of your vehicle and neighboring properties, never drive on any street covered by water. Please do not disregard barricades on flooded streets.

For Police & Fire Department emergencies, call 911. For non-emergencies, call 609-399-9111.
