Coastal Flood — Coastal San Patricio County, Texas

2024-11-03 to 2024-11-19 · Coastal San Patricio County, Texas

Event narrative

Water is covering the roads around Indian Point Pier. The gates have been closed to traffic. This was the case for around 2 straight weeks.

Wider weather episode

While tidal levels were predicted to barely touch 1.8-2.0 ft MSL, increasing winds helped increase wave heights. At the same time, we saw that 8 second periods were likely to reach the coastline. This resulted in greater chances for minor coastal flooding, leading us to keep a Coastal Flood Advisory in place through the next couple weeks following the 11/3/2024 event.
