A Royal Walk with the King Tide Along the Embarcadero

Sunday, January 22, 2023 • 11:00 a.m.-Noon

Gather Between Piers 3 and 5 on the Embarcadero

Free; Museum Entrance Not Included

Join Exploratorium and Port of San Francisco staff for a short stroll along the San Francisco waterfront to observe, photograph, and discuss the King Tides. “King Tide” is a popular, non-scientific term people use to describe exceptionally high tides.

We’ll gather between Pier 3 and Pier 5 on the Bay side of San Francisco’s Embarcadero.

Come find out what causes the tides and why we have King Tides at this time of year, and learn about the Port’s Waterfront Resilience Program and related sea level rise and resilience projects. Because of sea level rise, the King Tides of today provide opportunities to experience the “normal” high tides of the future.

We’ll meet rain or shine. Come see the future!

This event is free. Museum entrance is not included.

The high tide predicted at Pier 41 that day is 7.14 feet at 11:21 a.m. PST.
