Beach Hunters - The King Tides Are Back August 9 Through August 14, 2025
What are King Tides
Oceanic tides are higher and lower than normal during a new or full moon because the sun, moon, and Earth align. This alignment creates stronger gravitational forces that pull on the ocean's water. Treasure hunters refer to these as King Tides and prefer the lower tides because they can hunt in lower areas without having to deal with seawater.
