King Tides: A Royal Tide Watch Along the Embarcadero

Join the Exploratorium and Port of San Francisco staff along the Embarcadero to observe, photograph, and discuss “Royal” Tides. These exceptionally high tides are often described as “King Tides,” and will be “normal” tides of the future due to sea level rise.

We’ll gather between Pier 3 and Pier 5 on the Bay side of San Francisco's Embarcadero (Google map location) rain of shine. Come find out what causes the tides, why we have King Tides this time of year, and how the Port is supporting waterfront resilience.

The high tide predicted at Pier 41 that day is 7.32 feet at 10:39 a.m.
