Due to the eastward movement of Hurricane / Tropical Storm HERMINE the predicted high tides have not materialized. Today’s high tide was less than the previous high tide and the low tides lower than the previous low tides. The latest National Weather Service briefing (5pm Sunday) calls for minor and in some cases moderate flooding with the tide of concern Monday morning. The flooding predictions are based on the Northeast wind holding in the tides and the tide departures compounding on each other. So far we have seen on the North Wildwood tide gauge that the tides are slowing going back to normally predicted heights and the compounding hasn’t taken place. This doesn’t mean things can’t change as with any weather situation we have no control so we ask all to monitor local tv and radio stations for updates.
