King Tide Watching on the Oregon Coast
The highest tides of the year meet winter storm surf, and the Oregon Coast puts on a show you will talk about all year. It is quite the event. Big winter storms here can send in waves of 20 to 30 feet. The best seat is a warm one with a big window. King tide windows this winter fall around November 23 to 27, December 22 to 26 and January 20 to 24. Watch it the safe way: - Watch from up high. Your balcony, a headland or a viewpoint well back from the edge all beat the sand. - Never turn your back on the ocean. Sneaker waves surge much farther up the beach than the waves before them, with no warning. - Stay off jetties, rocks and beach logs. A wave can roll a log that weighs tons. - Check the forecast before you head out. If there is a high surf warning, enjoy the show from indoors. Bring the cocoa. We will point you to the best views.
