Astronomical High Tide Floods Seal Beach, Residents Brace for More

Seal Beach lifeguards were working this morning to rearrange the sand to prevent a repeat of minor flooding that occurred when heavy surf combined with an astronomical high tide of 5.5 feet, authorities said.

The minor flooding occurred about 9:30 p.m. Sunday around the Seal Beach Pier at Tenth Street and Seal Way, said Seal Beach police Sgt. Ron Lavelle.

No damage was reported, Lavelle said. The water washed up over the sand to the boardwalk, past where a 20-foot winter sand berm was removed last month.

The next high tides are forecast at 3.28 feet at 11:35 a.m. and 4.69 feet at 10:59 p.m., according to the website myforecast.com.
