Interested in a volunteer opportunity you can do for school, work, or just for fun!? Looking for an opportunity you can do on your own or with your own household? This is also an excellent opportunity for middle and high school students and scout groups!
We have a few spots at and around Don Edwards SF Bay National Wildlife Refuge where you can witness the year's highest tides!
Locations in Alviso (North San Jose)* are:
Gold Street Bridge (in the town of Alviso)
Grand Blvd Observation Point of Artesian Slough (Environmental Education Center)
Coyote Creek observation point along the Mallard Slough Trail (Environmental Education Center)
*Please see the attached map and images for these exact locations that will provide great viewpoints for this incredible high tide event.
Take pictures to record these high tides and submit them to watershedwatchers@sfbayws.org! In addition, you can upload them to social media with the hashtag #KingTidesAlviso2024. Contact us for questions, too! Tag us on Instagram @sfbayws.
Exact times of the high tides each day (Alviso, Gold Street Bridge):
Thursday, Jan 11th: 11:33am - 11.55ft
Friday, Jan 12th: 12:22pm - 11.49ft
There are lots of other places to observe and document the King Tides! Please send us any pictures you take from the baylands in South San Francisco Bay!
The King Tides help us to visualize how future sea level rise will impact our urban areas. In addition, they also provide visibility for pollution in the SF Bay by bringing up tons of garbage onto our shorelines.
