Don't forget, the final #KingTides of the season are January 2-3! Round out the holidays with some time at the shoreline observing the tides on your own or by joining a community event (taking place from Shelter Cove to San Diego). www.coastal.ca.gov/kingtides/
A person stands next to Pier 14 in San Francisco as the king tides flood the sidewalk. The California King Tides logo is in the corner of the photo.

Heads up to drivers heading to SF from the East Bay — this is what the right side of the freeway looks like after the toll plaza 😬 King tides are doing their thing!
Several lanes of freeway are covered in water from the San Francisco Bay

Did you know? 🌊 The King tides help scientists and park managers observe flooding, erosion, and infrastructure impacts in real time, especially in coastal state parks.

King Tides Weekend - I've been photographing these for the CA Coastal Commission since 2015. Can't recall a higher high tide....

Still working on photo review, but I have to say that the California #KingTides photographers/volunteers/community scientists (what would you like to be called? Superstars?) are superstars. This is where the photos are being posted: arcg.is/0Gy5Cq (1/?)

This is the video of the King Tides at sunrise this morning. Earlier today, I advertently posted a clip that I took several minutes later. Oh well, the way I look at it, it’s virtually impossible to overdose on Vitamin Sea!
