8.1 Foot High Tides To Wash Up Sat and Sun Mornings

Some very high high tides are coming this weekend.

The full moon … plus the relative positions of the earth and moon at this time of year … will make these king tides.

King tides occur about twice a year when the sun and moon align to enhance the gravitational pull that produces normal, daily tides.

An early round of king tides occurred in January, and more are expected Saturday and Sunday along the Ventura County coast.

There is a King Tides Project being run by the Coastal Commission … they are asking people to take and upload photos of the phenomenon.

The idea is to get people to think about global ocean rise … and how it will affect us locally … not so much far away.

They are asking people to take pictures of the high tides.

Participants can start by choosing where to take their photos and finding it on a map at the commission’s website to get the best time.

Then they can upload their photos via app or website.

The high tide in Malibu will be tomorrow morning at 8:01.

And it will top out at 8 point 1 feet.

Another 8 point 1 foot is expected to crest at 8:46 Sunday.

Of course … with the very high tides … will come very low tides.

But those will be in the middle of the night.
