Sea-level rise will make a big impact by the middle of the century on America’s coastal regions, including in San Diego. That’s what it says inNOAA predicts ocean levels will rise by 8 inches on the West Coast by 2050. Sea levels will rise even faster on the East Coast — an additional foot by mid-century.
Merrifield said San Diego is already subject to “nuisance floods” at high tide. But by 2050 the frequency of those floods is predicted to be much higher. “As the sea level rises that wave action rises higher and higher up the beach, and higher and higher up the cliff," Merrifield said."So you are now creating a situation where there’s just more hours of attack per day.”The NOAA report predicts sea levels on the West Coast will increase by 1½ feet by the end of the century. Merrifield said if global warming continues at the current pace, ocean levels could be four feet higher by the middle of the next century.
