King tides return to San Francisco Bay Area
King tides, the highest predicted tides of the year, are set to return to the San Francisco Bay Area. These tides occur once or twice annually and result in unusually high water levels at coastal locations. The phenomenon may reveal ocean treasures as the tides recede, offering a unique opportunity for exploration along the coast. King tides are a natural occurrence influenced by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun, combined with the Earth's rotation. This event is anticipated to draw interest from both locals and tourists eager to witness the dramatic changes in water levels and the potential exposure of marine life and artifacts.
