Budd Bay Low Low Tide

Submitted by Robert Whitlock on Thu, 07/31/2008 - 8:48pm.

I checked the tide predictor. It said that today's 11:30 AM low tide was -3.2 feet. That's a low low one!

Christmas Morning Highest Tide of the Year

[via email:]

Christmas morning, at 7:29 A.M. will be the highest tide of the year: 17.1 feet in Olympia
Please join a few of us fools at the Kissing Couple statue that morning (4th and Water Street) to see how much freeboard Olympia has left. With 3 feet of sea level rise predicted this century, our town will have some challenges.
The highest recorded tide in Olympia was December 15, 1977, at 17.94 feet. That flooded much of downtown. It depends on two things: the height of the tide, and the amount of rain filling the Deschutes. The extended forecast for Christmas week calls for showers, which will probably not be enough to cause flooding. BUT, it will be an impressive tide, nonetheless.

I hope someone takes some pictures from this event!
