Description
🌕🌊 What Causes King Tides? King tides are the highest tides of the year when the sun, moon, and Earth align. Gravitational forces combine to pull ocean water higher than normal. They are natural and predictable, but can create unusually high water levels, coastal flooding, and powerful waves.
⚠️🌊 Safety Tips for Viewing King Tides
👉 Keep Your Distance
Stay well back from the waterline
Never turn your back on the ocean
Avoid jetties, tide pools, and slippery rocks
👉 Watch for Flooding
King tides can flood roads, parking lots, and trails
Don’t walk or drive through flooded areas
Check local tide charts before you go
👉 Choose Safe Viewing Spots
Use elevated paths, cliffs, boardwalks, or high sidewalks
Avoid eroded dunes, cliffs, and unstable edges
👉 Expect Bigger Waves
Sneaker waves can hit unexpectedly
High wind or storm surge can make conditions dangerous fast
👉 Keep Kids & Pets Close
Hold hands and keep pets on a leash
Maintain extra space from the shoreline
👉 Photograph Safely
Keep feet planted and avoid leaning over edges
Use zoom instead of getting closer to the surf #kingtide #brookingsor #oregoncoast
