What Is Storm Tide?
The total water level during a storm: the normal tide plus the storm surge on top of it. In technical terms: The water-level rise from the combination of storm surge and astronomical tide, referenced to a vertical datum (e.g., NAVD88); surge arriving at high tide produces a higher storm tide and greater inundation.
