Select year, then date to see data and documentation for that flooding event.


We seek to describe the ocean conditions that have led to past flooding events at Imperial Beach. Historic flood analysis will help to determine flood thresholds at different locations throughout the city. Time series of estimated total water level and the relative contributions of tides, wave runup, and sea level provide a summary of the conditions contributing to reported flooding events. The wave runup formulation is described here. Peak period is used instead of average period in the waves calculation. Here we include sea level variations that are omitted from the CDIP Flooding Index. Levels are referenced to MLLW (Mean Lower Low Water). Tide and sea level observations are taken from the NOAA tide station in La Jolla, CA.
