I recently moved to a coastal area, and I work near the coast as well for local government. Certain portions of my work unfortunately focus on “climate change.” A BIG focus is “sea level rise.” As a result, I pay attention to this and I’m beginning to notice inconsistent reports on the amount of “sea level rise” might impact different areas of the coast. I haven’t had time to research for sauce but I plan to do so. Sea level is sea level. If it rises, it should rise consistently around the world, unless there is a weather system like a hurricane, right?

I think it's dependent on the moon phase, the local crust density, the waterflows, the local air pressure, the seabed morphology, loads of things.
Even the earth is an oblate sphere so the sea "level" is higher at the equator by that metric.
