King tides are the highest tides every year. They show the future of sea level rise.
@maringreendrinks.bsky.socialSuper El Niño is creating a Kelvin Wave (that's a massive, slow-moving pulse of warm water under the ocean moving up the West Coast). It adds 6-12 inches to the sea level height off California!
Upcoming King Tide dates:
Oct 27-28 (6.7 ft)
Nov 25-26 (7 ft)
Dec 23-24 (7.2 ft)
Jan 22 (7.3 ft)
