King tides 2026–2027

King tides are the highest tides of the year. They come when the Moon is closest to the Earth around a new or full moon, and on the West Coast they peak in winter, from November to January. They give a preview of everyday sea levels to come, flood low streets and parking lots, and often come with very low tides the same day. Times below are local, heights in feet above MLLW.
