This year's King Tides Project is scheduled for Nov. 15-17 and Dec. 13-15. Researchers use community-submitted king tide photos to validate climate change models. This year's King Tides Project is ...
Tidal range is the difference in height between high tide and low tide. Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by gravitational forces exerted by the Moon and Sun, by Earth's rotation and by centrifugal force caused by Earth's progression around the Earth-Moon barycenter. Tidal range depends on time and location.

The approximate lunitidal interval can be calculated if the moonrise, moonset, and high tide times are known for a location. In the Northern Hemisphere, the Moon reaches its highest point when it is southernmost in the sky. Lunar data are available from printed or online tables. Tide tables forecast the time of the next high water.
Tide tables, sometimes called tide charts, are used for tidal prediction and show the daily times and levels of high and low tides, usually for a particular location. [1] Tide heights at intermediate times (between high and low water) can be approximated by using the rule of twelfths or more accurately calculated by using a published tidal ...
Storm driven high swells on the ocean combined with seasonal high tides combined to cause coastal erosion and water rescues Dec. 28, 2023. The sign for the Oceano Dunes SVRA was undermined at Pier ...
A king tide is an especially high spring tide, especially the perigean spring tides which occur three or four times a year. King tide is not a scientific term, nor is it used in a scientific context. The expression originated in Australia, New Zealand and other Pacific nations to describe especially high tides that occur a few times per year ...
“The waves and high tide were just overwhelming the beach,” Collins said. High surf left foam around the Pier Avenue kiosk at the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area on Dec. 28, 2023.
