King Tide Watch 2025

Saturday, December 6th, 9AM - 10:30AM

At the base of the Manhattan Beach Pier

Free and open to all ages!

Join the Roundhouse Aquarium team, naturalists, and scientists to document the King Tides of 2025 and learn why these extreme tides matter! Visual data collected through community science will support the California Coastal Commission's annual King Tide Project. Together, we’ll observe the ocean in action and explore how rising seas impact our coast and community.

Experience one of nature’s most dramatic high tides, a King Tide, created when the sun, moon, and Earth align. Participants will help document how rising sea levels impact the California coastline. Bring your camera or phone to capture the tide and share your photos for this community science effort. 

What to Bring:

☀️ Sunglasses and a hat
📸 Camera or phone for photos
🥤 Reusable water bottle or thermos
🧥 Warm layers, as it can be chilly near the pier
