Figure 17. Simulated flooding of Wells Beach for 3-ft sea level rise at HAT conditions. More extensive overtopping of the seawalls would occur, resulting in more flooding along the Webhannet River side of the island. More extensive ponding adjacent to the jetties occurs, and several breach points become more apparent.
