Vewing the King Tide at Shore Acres State Park

In this video we check out the king tide at Shore Acres State Park. King tide brings in our highest tides of the year. This is of interest because our ocean is rising and these big tides will be normal one day.

    First comment! Thank you Becky. You know this place much better than I do. Forgot about it for awhile, until visiting for the lighthouse movie to see Cape Arago. I wish I also got a big storm on this day but oh well, I have 2 babies and need to take what I can get at this point haha.

    I got caught in some quicksand in the Yachat's river once, and had to swim farther out to get unstuck, and for a brief moment I felt the true 'pull' of the ocean and realized how futile it would be to fight against some of those tides.. Couldn't imagine being one of those poor souls who fall victim to sneaker waves.., usually while simply having a 'peaceful stroll down the beach'.. I was always cautious, but now I'm on full alert at the coast. Keep an eye on them waves.

    The Doomsday Glacier in Antarctica is about to add a whole lot of thawed ice to the world's oceans. The high cliffs in this video look secure, but lower areas won't be, especially when huge waves come ashore.

    I am sorry, sure would appreciate it if you would abstain from flying a drone in or near a state park! Very annoying! However, nice shots but the ocean splashes looked very tame compared to other videos I have seen.

    I did not fly a drone. What makes you think I did? I have videos at other places with drone footage and follow every restriction there is.
