Along the Massachusetts coastline, the storm produced 25 ft (7.6 m) wave heights on top of a 4 ft (1.2 m) high tide. [2] In Boston, the highest tide was 14.3 ft (4.4 m), [6] which was only 1 ft (30 cm) lower than the record from the blizzard of 1978. [2] High waves on top of the storm tide reached about 30 ft (9.1 m).
Hurricane Carol struck Connecticut shortly after high tide, and its combination with 10 to 15 feet (3.0 to 4.6 m) storm surges from New London eastward produced widespread tidal flooding. [13] About 2,000 people were stranded when a rail line between New Haven and Rhode Island was flooded. [ 18 ]
In the Miami metropolitan area, where the vast majority of the land is below 10 ft (3.0 m), even a one-foot increase over the average high tide can cause widespread flooding. The 2015 and 2016 king tide event levels reached about 4 feet (1.2 m) MLLW , 3 feet (0.9 m) above mean sea level , or about 2 ft (0.61 m) NAVD88 , and nearly the same ...

The Ordinance of 1641 extended the property rights of riparian owners from the line of low tide to a maximum distance of 100 rods (1,600 ft; 500 m) from the line of high tide. Generally, other states drew the line of private property at high tide. However, extending shore lines into bordering bodies of water was not unique to Boston.
At low tide water in the channel may be as deep as only 5 feet (1.5 m), which is true today. As at the northern end of Plum Island, tidal currents through the channel are unusually swift; moreover, the sands near the low tide mark are uncompacted and form quicksands.
