Strap on your boots, grab your camera and get ready to explore the fascinating intertidal ecosystems of the Oregon coast.
Tides are once again nearing their lowest marks of 2023, expected to dip below two feet starting in June, according to predictions by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Forecasts show low tides dipping below two feet on three occasions this year: June 4 to 7, July 3 to 6, and July 31 to Aug. 3.
While tides fluctuate throughout the year, driven by the phases and distance of the moon, low tides are typically best in the summer, when there are typically calmer seas.
Intertidal areas that become exposed during super low tides can reveal hidden treasures, unseen worlds or offer temporary access to normally inaccessible places ā but they can also be treacherous to navigate. For tips on exploring tidepools safely, follow the link in our bio.
