King Tides in La Jolla

Friday, December 23: high tide 8:08 am, low tide 3:33 am

Saturday, December 24: high tide 8:54 am, low tide 4:20 am

 

If you’ve never seen a king tide before, you’ll want to get out later this month and see the hype, as it’s a pretty exciting thing to see, with the year’s highest tides at 7+ ft and the lowest tides.

The low tides are often called King negative tides as the water recedes back so far to a negative afternoon low, revealing widened beaches and access to areas of the beach you wouldn’t usually see or be able to walk. 

If you love tidepooling, this is an opportunity you want to take advantage of, as you’ll have a significantly larger area to explore that is primarily underwater.

The King tides are fun to see, but they also provide a snapshot of our coast’s future as global sea levels continue to rise. 

To learn more, check out what Surfrider San Diego says about it here. And if you can’t make it out in December, the King tide event will happen again on January 21 and 22.
