The South Florida Water Management District's Tidal Outlook for the forecast period of November 27, 2023 through December 4, 2023, is now available. This is the final weekly forecast period of the 2023 King Tide season. Minor coastal flooding is possible along South Florida’s east coast and in the Florida Keys through the middle of this week due to the Full Moon occurring today, Monday, November 27. No meteorological factors – such as wind strength and direction, or sea level pressure – are expected to further increase tidal levels during the forecast period.
The South Florida Water Management District's Tidal Outlook for the forecast period of November 20, 2023 through November 27, 2023, is now available. Minor coastal flooding is possible in Monroe County later this week and through the weekend. This is the result of higher than normal tidal levels that are expected in the SFWMD region near the time of the full moon on Monday, November 27. However, tidal levels are forecast to remain near-normal along the east coast of the SFWMD region with no flooding concerns expected.

The South Florida Water Management District's Tidal Outlook for the forecast period of November 13, 2023 through November 20, 2023, is now available. Higher tidal levels are expected along South Florida's east coast and the Florida Keys due to the New Moon today, Monday, November 13. However, these higher tidal levels will remain below flood stage in all areas except in the Florida Keys where minor coastal flooding may occur. An area of low pressure is forecast to develop over or near South Florida by midweek.
The South Florida Water Management District's Tidal Outlook for the forecast period of November 6, 2023 through November 13, 2023, is now available. Higher tidal levels are anticipated along South Florida's east coast through Wednesday, November 8 due to wind-generated swells. As a result, minor coastal flooding is possible at high tide in Martin, St. Lucie, Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade, and Monroe counties. These swells do not pose a flooding concern for South Florida's west coast.
The South Florida Water Management District's Tidal Outlook for the forecast period of October 30, 2023, through November 6, 2023, is now available.

As a result, moderate coastal flooding is expected in Martin, St. Lucie, Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade, and Monroe counties. No flooding concerns are expected along the west coast of the SFWMD region during the forecast period.
