Tomorrow, Dec 26th, the morning high tide will be one of the highest of the whole year: +12.93 ft at 8:19 AM.

Some of the highest tides of the year occur each winter. These tides, referred to as “King Tides”, occur naturally when the sun and the moon align, causing an increased gravitational pull on Earth’s oceans.

Help the Washington Dept of Ecology collect photos of highest winter tides along Washington's shorelines, estuaries and coastal communities. All the instructions can be found at: www.ecy.wa.gov/climatechange/ipa_hightide.htm.
