King Tides, High Surf, and Sneaker Waves at Curry Public Library

Join the Watch

Please join Luke Martinez of Curry County Aquatic Safety, Denise Harrington of Oregon Shores, and Brad Schaaf from the National Weather Service while we learn about the ocean and beach phenomena of king tides, sea level rise, high surf and more – why they happen, how to prepare for them, and how they help us understand coastal flooding and sea level rise.

Get ready with us for the January 1st – 4th king tides by learning how to safely observe and photograph the tides and share observations with the Oregon King Tide Project.

Where: Curry Public Library

When: December 30th, 2026 from 5:30pm-7:30pm PST
