Recent big surf moves lots of sand, extreme tides this week
Saturn and the moon will dance
Big surf pounding the Ocean Beach pier
Recent Big Ocean Swells and wild surf conditions left some area beaches partially or wholly denuded of sand. The powerful waves pulled sand off the beach and moved it into deeper waters offshore, leaving behind deposits of rounded cobbles where sand had been. During spring and summer, gentle wave action will return much of the sand, usually in time for the arrival of summer tourists. Artificial sand-replenishment projects are usually in the works, too, whereby sand dredged from waters offshore is transported back to the shoreline.
A String of Extraordinarily Low Tides occurs this week. The tide on Wednesday, January 10, dips to -1.67 feet at 3:10 pm. Thursday’s low tide of -1.87 feet occurs at 3:50 pm. On Friday, the tide falls to -1.8 feet at 4:29 pm.
An egret patrols the rocks in La Jolla at low tide searching for a meal.
These low-tide episodes will be perfect for exploring the lowermost of the intertidal zones in the rocky areas of San Diego County’s coastline. Extreme high tides will also occur a few hours before each extreme low tide, with Thursday’s and Fridays high tides both reaching a height of 7.38 feet. The tidal extremes this month are related to the New Moon phase, and also to the moon’s seasonal position in the sky, which is helping to carry the global tidal bulges and troughs over latitudes farther north than usual.
The Moon and Saturn will “dance” together this weekend. On Saturday, January 13 the moon will be above Saturn, and will then dip just below it on the 14th.
