>From WiKi:
"Current sea level rise has occurred at a mean rate of 1.8 mm per year for
the past century,[1][2] and more recently at rates estimated near 2.8 ±
0.4[3] to 3.1 ± 0.7[4] mm per year (1993-2003). Current sea level rise is
due significantly to global warming,[5] which will increase sea level over
the coming century and longer periods."
That's not much, maybe 8 inches over 100 years, but year-to-year, hard to
detect with the naked eye. And probably not a large enough percentage of
the Earth's total mass to have a significant impact on the rotational speed.
But....
"...some scientists predict sea level rise of 1.3 meters in this century."
We would notice that.
