"King tides, which bring both the highest high tides and lowest low tides, usually happen around three or four times a year," said Dial Hoang, a NWS meteorologist.
"Photos of king tides are important in helping agencies identify infrastructure landmarks, staircases, sea walls, piers, roads and more that are at risk from flooding due to climate change," according to the California Coastal Commission.
The impacts from the king tides are typically limited to the immediate coastal region, Hoang said, but local flooding can disrupt areas like trails and parking lots.
A coastal flooding advisory has been issued by the NWS through 4 p.m. Monday, highlighting that the highest tides will occur in Berkeley at 10:22 a.m. Friday.
