Coastal Flood Advisory COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY  
Humboldt County

  Effective: Sat, 11/7 2:44am Severity: Minor
  Updated: November 7, 2026 4:15 am Urgency: Expected
  Expires: Sat, 11/7 11:00pm Certainty: Likely

Areas Affected: Northern Coastal Humboldt
 
Alert Details:
* WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, High astronomical tides
will cause minor flooding in low lying areas around Humboldt
Bay. Up to one quarter foot of saltwater inundation above ground
level is possible near shorelines and tidal waterways. Between
8.8 and 9.0 feet MLLW at the North Spit tide gauge is predicted.
For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves 22 to 24 feet.

* WHERE...Northern Coastal Humboldt County.

* WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, from 9 AM to 11 AM PST
this morning. For the High Surf Advisory, from 4 AM to 10 PM PST
Sunday. High tide is at 9:51 AM at the Humboldt Bay North Spit
tide gauge. Saltwater inundation will be possible 1 to 2 hours
before and after high tide.

* IMPACTS...Flooding of low lying areas around Humboldt Bay
including parks and roads with only isolated closures
expected. Flooding will likely impact Jackson Ranch Road in
the Arcata Bottoms and several roads in King Salmon. Dangerous
surf conditions and localized beach erosion. Beachcombing is
highly discouraged!.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The large surf on Sunday will coincide with
high astronomical tides and high tidal anomalies. This will
allow significant runup onto area beaches and may impact
normally dry land or even roads or parking lots.

Information:
A Coastal Flood Advisory indicates that onshore winds and tides
will combine to generate flooding of low areas along the shore.

Feet Above Ground is locally defined as feet above the Highest
Astronomical Tide or HAT.

Large breaking waves along the coast will lead to increased wave
run-up on beaches with waves topping and washing over large rocks
and jetties. These large waves can be erratic and unpredictable.
Use extra caution near the surf zone as these large waves will be
capable of sweeping people into the frigid and turbulent ocean
water. Mariners traversing the bar are urged to exercise extreme
caution or stay in port until the threat subsides. Please contact
the U.S. Coast Guard for information regarding harbor and bar
closures.
