Tomorrow kicks off the second series of the season's highest tides. Have you snapped your king tide photos yet? Share your awe-inspiring shots with the Oregon King Tides Photo Project 🌊
🚧 Capture photos of local coastal areas subject to flooding or erosion.
🏠 Take images where the impact of the tide can be gauged against familiar landmarks like buildings, jetties, bridges, roads, sea walls, beach infrastructure, or shorelines. Photographs with these features are very useful in comparison shots taken at other times and can help people understand the impact of rising water levels on our coastal environments.
🦀 You know we're especially excited to see photos of estuaries to help support our Campaign for Oregon's Estuaries!
Upload your photos here 👉 ow.ly/twLh50Qi4xw
Remember to include where, when, and which way you took the picture. You might even win a prize courtesy of The Oregon Coast!

🌊The December king tides are happening this weekend 🤩
Be sure to enjoy these extremely high tides and large waves safely! A king tide is an exceptionally high tide that occurs when the gravitational forces of the sun, moon, and Earth align, creating extreme tidal fluctuations. There are extreme weather warnings right now, so please be sure to check local conditions and stay far away from breaking waves 📸✨
🚨 Your safety is our top priority, so here are some essential tips for capturing the tides:
1️⃣ Dress wisely: Be prepared for the elements with layers for warmth, visible colors, and sturdy footwear suitable for the terrain you'll be exploring.
2️⃣ Plan ahead: Check tide charts at www.oregonkingtides.net to determine the best times for observation in your location.
3️⃣ Wave awareness: Stay vigilant for sets or unexpected sneaker waves. Keep children and pets close, and always assess potential risks. Move to a secure location if necessary.
4️⃣ Site assessment: Upon arrival, survey the area for accessibility and potential hazards. Coastal landscapes can change, so respect safety barriers like fencing and guardrails.
Submit your photos to the Oregon King Tides Photo Project 👉 www.oregonkingtides.net! You could even win a prize from The Oregon Coast!!

🌊 A Historic Homecoming on the Oregon Coast 🌊
This week, we celebrate an extraordinary moment of restoration and resilience: the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians (CTSI) have reacquired a 27-acre section of Cape Foulweather, a significant piece of their ancestral territory on the Oregon Coast. This milestone coincides with the 47th anniversary of the tribe regaining federal recognition—a poignant reminder of the strength and perseverance of the Siletz people.
Nestled between Newport and Lincoln City, this ecologically rich and culturally significant area will once again be under the stewardship of its original caretakers. This land is set to thrive anew through a collaborative effort with the McKenzie River Trust, the Nature Conservancy in Oregon, Lincoln County, and the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development, supported by a $2.01 million NOAA grant.
