Where the Gulf Stream follows the Atlantic coast, from FL to mid-NC, there's been an anomalous acceleration in measured coastal sea-level over the last 10-12 years.

I assume that the "something" is the Gulf Stream.
E.g., Charleston, SC

It drifts around a bit, so perhaps it has shifted a little farther offshore.
The acceleration hasn't occurred farther north, e.g.:

Places where there's subsidence have more rapid local ("relative") sea-level rise, but that's because the land is sinking. New Orleans is a striking example:

It experiences uplift due to "post-glacial rebound" (PGR):

(If sea-level rise were to accelerate, it'd reduce Stockholm harbor dredging expense)
