ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — A new report finds that high-tide flooding is happening across the United States at twice the rate it was just 30 years ago and predicts records for such flooding will continue to be broken for decades.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Wednesday that high-tide flooding, sometimes called sunny-day or ‘‘nuisance flooding,’’ tied or set records last year in more than a quarter of the 98 places the agency monitors around the country.

The report found Sabine Pass, Texas, had 23 days of high-tide flooding last year. The area is part of Port Arthur, where most houses now stand on stilts after the community was hit repeatedly by destructive hurricanes. Boston and Atlantic City, N.J., had 22 each. Cities in other parts of the country experienced fewer tidal floods, but many of those cities still saw records set.

Ben Horton, a Rutgers University researcher who was not involved in the study, called it ‘‘a warning, a shot across the bow.’’
