Historic King Tide in Westport, Washington 11-15-2020

22ft waves and king tides making a statement in Westport! 11/15/2020

[@sharonmills1013]

Love the footage-amazing tide and waves. Would rather hear the ocean sounds than the music, though.

[@ZenShen1111]

I was disappointed that there was music!

[@Andy-vt7sl]

Many drones don’t record sound - all you’d hear would be the props in many cases.

[@timdowney6721]

The choice of the music played isn’t bad, but I prefer the natural sea sounds.

[@jakelee4438]

That’s why you set up a mic on the tower 🤷‍♂️ #pros 😂

[@Andy-vt7sl]

@@jakelee4438 that’s an idea! 💡 😃

[@AngelaRPierce]

Dang! Great angles, great presentation, great music, great timing!!! I'm so jealous!!!

[@NorthwestAdventurerNWA]

As usual, I see some Darwin Award candidates standing along the Jetty. Respect the Ocean folks, it’s truly unforgiving.

[@kbcoop3249]

Unlike your mama

[@gailcirac8222]

Don't know if those people are natives, but having lived on the coast for 12 years, I'd be on the road out of there. I'm terrified of the ocean. I've been way out in it and have seen how bad it can get. Those people are crazy!!

[@sharartibrat87]

Hey there I love hearing interesting, terrifying stories about the ocean from people who've experienced it first hand. Would you tell me some? If that's ok

[@paulwinterstein]

The next King Tide hits the Pacific coast today (Dec. 13th, 2020) and tomorrow, with 19' swells forecasted for tomorrow. It would be great if you could capture footage of this new activity as well!

[@congettoinzauro4860]

Surfing ! Hahahahah.

[@noneofyourbeeswax01]

And with any luck we'll see a successful Darwin Award contestant or two in future !

Wow, spent many a day surfing out there in the 90's. Never saw the tide get that high!

Been there lots camping every year at Twin Harbor State Park really beautiful camping there really cool trails to the beach all those areas are susceptible to tsunamis they are at sea level hope it never happens. Great fishing! 👍🙋‍♀️

[@melvinmcdougal6226]

I bet the music psyched that tide up to be extra kingy.

[@baileabrown2011]

[@sherimcdaniel3491]

LOVE it!! Truly awesome footage.....my Mama and her boyfriend used to fishing out of Westport all the time.

Such a cliffhanger! Every time the wave is about to drench someone, the camera switches.

[@sandyr164]

Nice! Live in Ocean Shores & wish we had a watch tower like this

[@dmmchugh3714]

I'm from the east coast: does King Tide happen at any particular time of year - or can it happen anytime ? So spectacular: the sea is beautiful, powerful, scary and deadly.

[@micahgelfand8282]

Consult a tide chart. The tides are predicted years in advance. There may be some slight local variation but its down to a formula

[@pncarcone]

In fairly simple terms, the biggest tidal range will be at a full or new moon (known as Spring Tides). The range is also marginally higher around the equinoxes. However, weather will play a large part. If you look for storms in the ocean, you’ll probably have large waves two or three days later. If all these things coincide…then it should be pretty spectacular. Continental shelving etc will also play a large part…but that’s pretty consistent. It’s quite easy to find places where the waves are habitually large. Hope this helps..

[@whatabouttheearth]

People use the term King Tides for all Perigean Spring Tides or for the Perigean Spring Tide closest to Perhelion (around January 3rd/4th) Spring Tides are higher high tides and lower low tides that happen on full and dark (new) moons. Perigean Spring Tides happen during Spring Tides when the moon is in Perigee (closest to the earth). So find the dates of full and new moons closest to Perigee and that will be the Perigean Spring Tides. Remember not to conflate tides with waves, higher high tides don't necessarily mean heavier waves. Waves and tides are not the same.

[@whatabouttheearth]

@@micahgelfand8282 They're simply Spring Tides close to Perigee. Spring Tides are on full and dark (new) moons. Perigee is when the moon is closest to the earth. Perhelion is when the earth is closest to the sun, around January 3rd/4th. Perigean Spring Tides at Perhelion are even larger than regular Perigean Spring Tides.

[@whatabouttheearth]

@@pncarcone Why would it be higher around equinoxes? I get that they're higher at Perigee and even higher at closest Perigee to Perhelion. But why equinoxes? I don't see how that effects gravitation union of the moon and sun

[@actionimagesphotography]

End of the world music, epic!

[@nurselisa40]

Best King tide capture I've seen 👏

[@nunyaburts1246]

Well done, great video, thanks for sharing.

Did the cats down on the right end make it????

AWESOME video! Thanks for sharing. The drone footage was fantastic!

[@dardar1862]

Excellent video thanks 🙏

[@nightcritterz]

In that first shot, is that Oean Shores in the background across the water? What kind of camera trick can make it look so close? That's amazing.

[@kbcoop3249]

Beautiful!

Great footage! Washington coast can be brutal...

"Were going to need a bigger boat"

[@jacobishii6121]

That's the tower by the groins just past merino's seafood. The tides for worse and came into town at the marina

[@johnnylnowlin]

It appears that the tides and oceanic flooding of inland areas are growing yr to yr. King tides are nothing new...but as a resident of western Wa...I can say...the sea level sure appears to rising rapidly!!

[@calvinoutdoors4846]

That was awesome capturing that 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@thomasjohnniejr7763]

Wow I used to live in Westport back in 2013

[@WanderingSoleTV]

Wow, incredible footage. There's some pretty high tides coming up in a few days time!

Y’all need a bigger wall real quick - awesome footage 🤩

Ain't no wall big enough to stop Mother Ocean.

Hell of a wave 🌊

[@hebneh]

Nature in the raw is seldom mild...nobody should be standing where the waves could knock them down!

[@RamblingTim]

WOw that was something

[@navydogsadventures3500]

I have much respect for the oceans power!

[@sooweeq123]

I presume this occurrence is usually seasonal, right?

[@whatabouttheearth]

Remember not to conflate tides with waves, they are two different (but sometimes related) things. A King Tide is usually defined as two things (weirdly), a Spring Tide at or near Perigee (aka A Perigean Spring Tide), or a Perigean Spring Tide closest to Perhelion (those are the biggest Perigean Spring Tides) Spring Tides are higher high tides and lower low tides that happen on full and dark (new) moons. Perigee is when the moon is closest to the earth. Perhelion (around January 3rd) is when the earth is closest to the sun. So find a full/new moon closest to (or on) Perigee and you'll find Perigean Spring Tides.

very epic and impressive

[@MeagainIA2011]

Job chapter 38: 1-11, but you really need to read all the way to the end of the chapter. New 'baby' christians, I tell them to read the book of Proverbs to see what God hates and what He loves. Then to read Job 38 to the end, to learn about who God is......to help put things into perspective and an introduction to a 'tangible' relationship with God. Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said, 2 “Who is this that darkens counsel [questioning my authority and wisdom] By words without knowledge?(A) 3 “Now [a]gird up your loins like a man, And I will ask you, and you instruct Me! 4 “Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell Me, if you know and have understanding. 5 “Who determined the measurements [of the earth], if you know? Or who stretched the [measuring] line on it? 6 “On what were its foundations fastened? Or who laid its cornerstone, 7 When the morning stars sang together And all the sons of God (angels) shouted for joy? 8 “Or who enclosed the sea with doors When it burst forth and went out of the womb; 9 When I made the clouds its garment And thick darkness its swaddling band, 10 And marked for it My [appointed] boundary And set bars and doors [defining the shorelines],(B) 11 And said, ‘This far you shall come, but no farther; And here your proud waves shall stop’?(C) But what happens, when the waves don't stay within their retraints? Evil abounds when good men do nothing. When wickedness so bold, comes out in the light of day? There are consequences for every decision we make in life. Do you drink from the cup of demons? When sin has risen as in the days of Noah, so shall the grace of God rise that much more. We're in the Days of Noah, folks! And its only going to get worse from 2020 forward. The world will think that 'mother nature' has lost her mind.
