Why is Newark planning to build in a flood zone?
The city has approved a proposal to build in an environmentally sensitive area that regularly floods--putting people & wildlife at risk.
So we're taking action with our partners at Citizens Committee to Complete the Refuge:

Just 3 inches of sea level rise can throw off tide predictions and exacerbate flooding--something we just experienced with the #KingTides.
Great article from Tara Duggan @sfchronicle 🌊 https://www.sfchronicle.com/climate/article/sea-level-rise-tides-21280409.php

A series of back-to-back storms, combined with exceptionally high tides, led to flooding along many low-lying areas of the Bay Area over the weekend. Ken Der shares scenes from around Alameda and Bay Farm Island, and takes a look at local plans for sea level rise adaptation. https://alamedapost.com/news/weekend-flooding-offers-glimpse-future/

It's king tides, baby! Do you know where your tide is? https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/stationhome.html?id=9414290 #KingTides #CaliforniaKingTides #SeaLevelRise #flooding

Parts of the #BayArea could see some of the highest coastal #flooding in decades this weekend, as extreme #KingTides combine with storm surge and strong winds, prompting forecasters to issue a coastal flood warning, as the @sfchronicle reports:

City of Huntington Beach:
HB will experience King Tides over the next several days. These exceptionally high tides can cause coastal flooding, especially along nearby streets, walkways, and low-lying areas.
Marine Safety is asking the community to use caution:
• If you go in the water, swim near a lifeguard tower.
• Keep your distance from the shoreline and avoid flooded areas.
• Monitor local weather updates for changing conditions.
King Tide & surf outlook:
• Fri 1/2: Surf 2–3 ft. High tide 7.0 ft at 7:30 AM, dropping to a -1.8 ft low at 2:56 PM.
• Sat 1/3: Surf 2–3 ft. High tide 7.0 ft at 8:18 AM, falling to a -1.8 ft low at 3:40 PM.
• Sun 1/4: Surf builds W–NW 4–6 ft. High tide 6.8 ft at 9:05 AM, dropping to a -1.6 ft low at 4:22 PM.
• Mon 1/5: Surf eases 3–4 ft. High tide 6.4 ft at 9:51AM, dropping to a -1.2 ft low at 5:02 PM.
• Tue 1/6: Surf drops 2–3 ft. High tide 5.7 ft at 10:37 AM, falling to a -0.6 ft low at 5:41 PM.
Overall: The highest tides occur on Friday (1/2)and Saturday (1/3) in the 7.0 ft range, with 2–3 ft surf. Surf increases on Sunday to the 4-6 foot range, and the high tide is 6.8. As we move into Monday and Tuesday, the extreme tides moderate into the 6.3 ft and 5.7 ft range.
If you would like to pick up sandbags, the City offers free self-serve sandbag fill stations at the following locations (bring your own shovel & don’t overload your vehicle):
• Edison Community Center – 21377 Magnolia St. (Available 24/7)
• Warner Fire Station – 3831 Warner Ave.(Available 24/7)
• Corporate Yard – 17371 Gothard St. (Mon–Fri, 8 a.m.–4 p.m.). Note: This location is closed today (1/1).
The HBFD Marine Safety Division has additional lifeguard staff on duty to monitor conditions and respond as needed. The HB Public Works crew is on standby to assist with flooding or coastal impacts.
The City of Huntington Beach remains committed to keeping our community informed and safe. Please be sure to use caution and stay aware of changing conditions. -
Hey folks, the next #KingTides are January 2-3, 2026. Contribute to this community science effort by uploading your photos at high tide. These very high tides give you a look at the coming impacts of sea level rise. https://sfba.social/@scott/115804365126922189

@scott I love #KingTides season! I get to visit places around the Bay that I rarely see. Also new ones thanks to #SeaLevelRise.

It's officially #KingTides season across the #BayArea and the CA coast 🌊
King Tides mainly cause ponding on roads and other short-term nuisance flooding. However, scientists point out that they foreshadow a far wetter future due to sea-level rise caused by human-caused climate change.
“It’s kind of a signal for the future,” said Dalton Behringer, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s Bay Area office. “If you’re flooding now, it’s not gonna get any better, certainly in the future.”

King Tides this week, which means we'll be in for some very high/very low tides...

The lowest spot on the Neponset Trail is flooded from the #kingtides. We may not have been able to see the solar eclipse through the clouds this morning but the effect of the lunar alignment is visible in the high tides.

Join us and our friends at NepRWA for a King Tide Talk at Tenean Beach Saturday morning - You'll get to watch in real time as the ocean floods the Neponset Trail and the parking lot!

My husband is well, so we made it to the coast in time for the last day of the January king tides. It’s a gorgeous blue sky day, no storms, normal wave height. So the king tide wasn’t super impressive, but the bonus is that it’s beautiful anyway. #kingtides #oregoncoast #newportoregon

On December 19, a crew from Alameda’s Public Works Department was out in force at Alameda Point to clean up debris hurled onshore by recent storms. Richard Bangert shares photos and footage from the impressive cleanup job. https://alamedapost.com/news/public-works-clears-storm-debris/

Irene Dieter shares a photo essay of the shoreline damage around Crab Cove and the beach. "Ironically, the stalled restroom project at Shore Line Drive and Grand Street, which had to go back to the drawing board to meet floodplain standards, was not affected at all by the storm," notes Dieter. https://alamedapost.com/news/alameda-shoreline-takes-a-beating-from-storms-and-tides/

The weekend's king tide washed a rainbow of colored plastic and small white pellets ashore at Seaplane Lagoon. Richard Bangert documents and describes the event, "...degrading Styrofoam products in our waterways was displayed like a communique from Mother Nature saying, 'Here’s your garbage back.'" https://alamedapost.com/op-ed/king-tide-storms-litter-beaches-rainbow-trash/

Went down to Yachats to watch waves. King tides coincided a high surf advisory, making for awesome seas. So much water pushing in, huge logs were being tossed around in the surf, some broken into pieces that shot up as waves broke against the rocks. Best of all, everyone was being safe, watching from the cliffs. #oregoncoast #kingtides #yachatsoregon

Final King Tides of the Season:
Friday, December 13 through Sunday, December 15
The California King Tides Project helps us visualize future sea level by observing the highest tides of today. You can help by taking and sharing photos of the shoreline during King Tides to create a record of changes to our coast and estuaries.
