July's full moon will coincide with the lowest tides of the year on the Oregon coast. Forecasts by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration show tides reaching their lowest point the morning of July 4, nearing minus three feet at some locations. Strong minus tides are expected from July 2 to 6.
Intertidal areas that become exposed during super low tides can reveal hidden treasures, unseen worlds or offer temporary access to normally inaccessible places. They can also be treacherous to navigate, with many slippery spots, sharp rocks and pools of standing water, so inform yourself before you go exploring. Safety is important for both humans, and these delicate ecosystems.
