This week will bring large tidal swings due to the phase and orbit of the moon. This means the highest tide of the day will be higher than normal and the lowest tide of the day will expose more beach areas than normal.
The lowest tides of the year for most places on the coast will happen from July 3 to 5. The exact time varies by day and location, but low tide will generally happen sometime between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. Check local tide tables for specifics.
The exact height of the tide will vary from location to location. At Depoe Bay for example, the tide will get as low as -2.6 feet on July 4, while Cannon Beach will see a low tide of -1.7 feet that same day. The low tide at many locations will near or exceed minus two feet, which is generally low enough to expose a lot of areas that are usually covered by water.
