This is misleading. Let's look at the actual charts of nearby measuring stations.

https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sltrends_station.... 3.36mm/year, flat since the 1950s.

https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sltrends_station.... 5.37mm/year, very new station, but still looks flat.

https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sltrends_station.... 4.78mm/year, flat since the 1970s.

https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sltrends_station.... Further away station, 4.74mm/year, flat since the 1920s.

https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sltrends_station.... Further away station, 2.61mm/year, flat since the 1930s.

Climate alarmism about rising seas is battered into our heads every single day without fail, but when we go to check the data, what we see is very slow rates of rise, and totally flat charts going back as far as the 1850s. Where is the acceleration? Where is the upward curvature in the charts? Where is all that glacier meltwater going?

Please, stop helping to fan the flames of irrational fear.

You can clearly see that beach erosion is the actual cause.
