Hawaii faces coastal flooding due to high tides, near-peak monthly tides, and a south swell.
Coastal flooding is expected in Hawaii due to high tide cycles, near-peak monthly tides, and a south swell, with impacts including flooding of dry beaches, minor coastal erosion, and saltwater inundation. The flooding is most likely to occur during afternoon hours around peak daily high tide cycles in low-lying coastal areas. Precautionary actions include avoiding driving through flooded roadways, rinsing vehicles with fresh water if exposed to saltwater, moving valuables to higher ground, and monitoring vessels and watercraft.
