Over the weekend, the San Diego coastline experienced some truly remarkable sights as king tides brought waves as high as 7 feet crashing onto the shore. This natural phenomenon, which occurs when the gravitational pull is heightened due to the alignment of the sun, Earth, and moon, was particularly captivating as it coincided with the Beaver Moon, the last supermoon of the year.
Beachgoers from North County to the South Bay were in awe as they witnessed the powerful waves pounding the coastline. Many residents took the opportunity to capture these stunning moments on camera, creating a visual record of nature’s raw beauty. The images shared by locals truly showcase the force and majesty of the king tides in action.
For those who missed this weekend’s event, there’s good news – the next occurrence of king tides is just around the corner. Scheduled for December 13 through 15, this will be the final chance to witness this natural spectacle in 2021. Make sure to mark your calendars and head to the coast to experience the breathtaking power of king tides for yourself.
