The
king tide is the highest predicted high tide of the year, produced by the
orbits and alignments of the Earth, Moon and Sun. In Miami Beach, the king
tides occur during the months of September, October, and November.
King
tides are expected to be the highest tides of the year over the next week.
Residents and visitors are encouraged to stay safe and exercise precaution
during this period.
Avoid
tidal flood-prone areas such as State Road A1A (Indian Creek
Drive) southbound between 40 and 29 streets during the high-tide
periods. For your safety, street closures may occur periodically in
this area. Seek alternates routes if necessary.
The
city's mitigation efforts include temporary pumps, an innovative barrier
dam along Indian Creek Drive, drain plugs, and a vacuum truck. We have also
expanded the parking flood relief program to the residents in the Indian Creek
neighborhood. Temporary traffic detours may be necessary.
Tides
can vary based on a number of conditions and take two to four hours to rise and
recede. Please factor in those periods.
