NEWPORT BEACH | SURF & COAST | NOVEMBER 7, 2026
What we know now
As of Nov. 9 at 3:00 p.m., the Coastal Flood Advisory remains in effect for Orange County coastal areas through noon Tuesday. The NWS now expects Tuesday morning’s high tide to peak over 7 feet MLLW, 1.2 to 1.4 feet above astronomical predictions, and says minor to locally moderate flooding with isolated road closures remains possible. The latest advisory no longer specifies Monday’s earlier 7.2-to-7.4-foot peak. Earlier forecasts called for 4-to-7-foot surf Monday, which may prolong coastal impacts. Newport Beach crews are reinforcing berms, inspecting drainage and tide systems, positioning sandbags and monitoring low-lying areas.
