The South Florida Water Management District's Tidal Outlook for the forecast period of September 18 through September 24, 2023 is now available.
Tidal levels will remain higher than normal along South Florida's coast due to the regular king tide season. There is no anticipated tropical activity or meteorological factors – such as wind strength and direction, sea level pressure – that are expected to further heighten tidal levels during the forecast period.
With approximately 700 miles of shoreline and 40+ gravity coastal structures upstream of tidally influenced canals, the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD)’s water management mission is influenced by sea levels. Along with rainfall and surge, high tide events also contribute to flood risks in South Florida.
Join the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) for an upcoming Resiliency Coordination Forum and Local Mitigation Strategies (LMS) Open House to promote additional collaboration on water management and resiliency initiatives between many local, state, federal and tribal partners.
Join the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Jacksonville District (USACE) for a meeting to discuss the integration of resiliency projects in southeast Florida.
