Water level forecasts / flooding indices
In February 2015, CDIP updated the 'Flooding Index'
forecast plots. In accordance with current reseach on wave runup, the new
plots are not based only on the tide and wave height, but also take the wave
period into account. The resulting water level predictions are generally lower
than those from the old model, but they should be significantly more
representative of the actual water levels observed at the coast. For more
information, please refer the
CDIP water level forecast documentation.
For a comparison of forecast and real-time, buoy-driven water level
predictions, please see the
water level comparison plot.
For the latest tide predictions please see
NOAA Tides & Currents.
