A Kelvin wave driven by El Niño is raising sea levels along the California coast, with tide measurements up to 17 inches above normal in La Jolla and beaches entirely covered in Santa Cruz. Michael Beck, director of the Center for Coastal Climate Resilience at UC Santa Cruz, warns the elevated water increases flooding and erosion risk through winter, particularly if storms coincide with high tides during Thanksgiving and Christmas weeks. Roads were inundated in parts of Marin County north of San Francisco. Another Kelvin wave is expected to reach the California coast later this month, and researchers anticipate five to six such waves over the life of the El Niño event into winter.
