THE SUN...MOON...AND EARTH ARE IN PROPER ALIGNMENT TO BRING THE
LARGEST TIDAL CYCLE OF THE SEASON WHICH WILL OCCUR OVER THE NEXT
FEW DAYS. THESE EXCESSIVE TIDES ARE OFTEN REFERRED AS KING TIDES
OR PERIGEAN SPRING TIDES AND WILL RESULT IN MINOR COASTAL
FLOODING OF LOW-LYING AREAS ALONG THE COAST AND BAY FRONTS DURING
PERIODS OF HIGH TIDE. COASTAL LOCATIONS THAT ARE TYPICALLY DRY
DURING HIGH TIDE...SUCH AS PARKING LOTS AND COASTAL TRAILS...MAY
BECOME SUBMERGED DUE TO THIS EXCESSIVE TIDAL CYCLE. DURING LOW
TIDES EXPECT STRONG RIP CURRENTS AT THE BEACHES AND LARGE
BREAKING WAVES NEAR HARBOR ENTRANCES.
