The highest tides of the winter are predicted for Dec. 14 & 15, and we'll be meeting at 1pm near the boat ramp under the Samoa Bridge to cleanup trash and debris left behind as the tide recedes. The tides are predicted to peak at the North Spit tide gage at 9:56 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 14 and at 10:42 a.m. on Sunday, Dec. 15 (check your favorite tide tables or NOAA’s tide predictions for other locations). To get involved, all you need is a camera or a smartphone. You can upload your photos to the Coastal Commission's California King Tide Photo Project.

Also, corresponding very low tides ("minus tides") mean excellent late-afternoon tidepooling in Trinidad!By capturing images of these extreme high tides, scientists and planners hope to gain insight into how rising sea levels will impact coastal areas in the future. The King Tides Photo Initiative is a great opportunity to contribute to a long-term dataset, while helping inform residents and decisionmakers about the need to plan for the coming changes to our natural and built environments.Recommended locations to observe high tides include:
Halvorsen Park and the F Street boardwalk in Eureka
Eureka Slough behind Target: This site has a pole with water level measurements, and a sign showing current projections of sea level rise.
