In coastal oceanography, the terms ebb and flood refer to tidal currents. These terms are particularly relevant for tidal inlet systems: estuaries, tidal rivers and lagoons. The ebb current corresponds to seaward flow and the flood current to landward flow.
High tide flooding describes coastal flooding conditions due to rising sea levels, sinking land, and the loss of natural barriers. Learn how climate change, strong tides, and prevailing winds can combine to create high tide flooding, and how it will become more frequent and severe over the next decades.
High tide flooding is the overflow or excess accumulation of water that covers typically dry coastal land and occurs during high tides. As relative sea levels rise, high tide flooding is occurring more frequently, even on sunny days.
Learn how tides are caused by the moon and sun, and how they affect the water levels along the coastlines. See the animation of the flood and ebb currents, and the tidal range and currents in the open ocean and near estuaries.
Find local water levels, tide and current predictions, and other oceanographic and meteorological conditions for your region. Access real-time and historical coastal flood information, high tide flooding outlooks, and coastal condition forecasts.
ebb tide, seaward flow in estuaries or tidal rivers during a tidal phase of lowering water level. The reverse flow, occurring during rising tides, is called the flood tide. See tide. This article was most recently revised and updated by Amy Tikkanen.
