King Tides Oregon 2024 In. The highest tides of the year, commonly known as king tides, are forecast to swamp the oregon coast four times between november 2023 and february of 2024. Volunteers for the oregon king tides project photograph the reach of the highest tides of winter in coastal towns, roads, beaches, and estuaries to demonstrate current coastal flooding vulnerabilities and to anticipate what will become.

King tides are back on the oregon coast! King tides occur when the alignment of the sun and moon combine to add extra gravitational pull on the earth, causing its oceans to swell.
