The king tides are once again upon us. These extremely high tides, caused by just the right gravitational alignment of the sun and earth and moon, will sweep in from Jan. 11-12 to soak shoes, give bikers a taste of hydroplaning and – if we want to be real about it – lend us a picture of the future of climate change. If you want to peer into the crystal climatological ball this weekend, several public parks around the East Bay are staging king-tide events to observe the swole waves and even get wet (or at least muddy). Here are three events from the East Bay Regional Park District to check out this weekend.
