When looking for pics from the Regular Joe Surf Festival, I found the link to this article posted on a surf forum, that I was reading.

A rising sea level that will overtake low lying areas in a few decades, people are smart to re evaluate their plans for Merritt Island. You can't fight mother nature.

Anyone reading this who owns some of this (soon to be worthless) property on Satellite Beach, I am willing to take it off your hands (at a discount of course). PM me.

At the most recent rate of .12 inches per year it's going to take a century to rise one foot. With a ground floor elevation of 18.6' in my home in Cocoa Beach that's more my great grandchildren's great grandchildren's concern than mine. Source

I thought the rate was on the order of a few inches per century and rising??!?

Correct, 12" per century or over 1800 years to get almost to the ground floor of my beachside home although I plan to move before then.

But isn't that rate no longer static but increasing?

Yes, most recent studies show it increased to .12 inches per year in the 20th century and likely to continue to increase but we can't be sure at what rate. Depending on the increase it may rise to my ground floor in 1200 instead of 1800 years. I plan to go ahead and move in 2514 or as late as 2600 anyway so I'm not concerned yet about the rate of increase.
