episode_narrativeThe combination of a nearly stationary high pressure system over nearby Canada and low pressure systems over the western Atlantic produced six consecutive days of rough surf along the Delaware shore from October 20th through the 25th. Waves as large as six to eight feet were reported breaking on the shore. This produced beach erosion. The heavy wave action exposed a concrete tower base at North Inlet Beach. At Rehoboth Beach, the strong current damaged steel pilings put into place for expansion of the Rehoboth Beach stormwater outflow system. The pressure of moving sand and ocean waves caused a number of steel pilings to twist and bend. The damaged pilings were left on the beach at Boardwalk and Grenoble Place.Some minor tidal flooding also occurred during the evening high tide on the 24th in Delaware Bay. The high tide at Reedy Island reached 7.36 feet above mean lower low water. Minor tidal flooding begins at 7.20 feet above mean lower low water.
