King tides in Connecticut, 2026

The biggest predicted tide in Connecticut in 2026 reaches 9.1 ft above MLLW at South Norwalk on Monday, May 18, at 12:38 AMlocal time. Below are all of the year's king tide windows — the top 1% of predicted highs — for NOAA reference stations along the Connecticutcoast. King tides are perigean spring tides: they arrive when a full or new moon lines up with the moon's closest approach to Earth, and they preview the flooding that sea level rise will make routine.

NOAA CO-OPS harmonic predictions, datum MLLW, station local time. Actual water level can run higher with storms, onshore wind, and low pressure — king tide + storm is the flooding combination to watch. Predictions are for planning, not navigation.
