"I've experienced a lot of winter flooding along the boardwalk," said resident Jack Szczerban. "That's typically when you see the storm surges come up. Pretty unusual for it to come up this late in the year."
There were no reports of significant damage. One car was towed from the water.
High tide Thursday is at 9:38 a.m. and 8:58 p.m. Low tide is at 2:42 p.m. Waves up to 8 feet are possible.
