Kelvin Wave Linked to High Tides and Coastal Erosion in San Diego
A Kelvin wave is causing unusually high tides and erosion along the San Diego coast.
San Diego, CA, October 26, 2026 —
A Kelvin wave is causing unusually high tides and erosion along the San Diego coast, according to the information provided. The summary identifies the wave as the cause of both conditions but does not give details about when they began or how long they are expected to continue.
The information does not specify how high the tides have been, how much erosion has occurred, or which parts of the coast are affected. It also does not describe any damage, closures, evacuations, or other effects on residents and visitors. Those details were not provided, so the scale of the impacts cannot be established from the available account.
No dates, measurements, named officials, agencies, or scientific sources are identified in the summary. It does not state whether the conditions have been independently assessed or whether authorities have issued warnings. The term “Kelvin wave” is the only explanation given for the unusually high tides and erosion; no additional meteorological or oceanographic context is included.
The available account therefore establishes a reported connection between the wave, elevated tides and coastal erosion, but leaves key questions unanswered, including the locations and severity of the erosion and the timing of the conditions. Further information would be needed to describe the affected areas, quantify changes along the shoreline, or clarify what may happen next.
