Perigean tide in Monterey Bay. Today’s high tide is among the highest in several decades, near record territory.

#KingTides at #MitchellsCove, #MontereyBay; a little less dramatic than last month with only an ankle biter swell, and a big pile of sand and wrack protecting the stairs.

Wave train rolling into #MitchellsCove.
National weather service has a beach, hazards statement up through Monday; Long period swell, watch out for sneaker waves, and never turn out your back on the ocean!🌊 #MitchellsCove #CAwx #SeaSculptors
This stretch of bluff has long been a magnet for breaker gawkers, drawn by the spectacle of waves crashing against the cliffs. This postcard is from around Woodrow Street looking across #MitchellsCove early 1900s. 🌊

Pink clouds hung around well into nautical twilight, tonight. #MitchellsCove #MontereyBay #PacificOcean
Twilight, Pacific time. #MitchellsCove
Kelvin–Helmholtz clouds form due to wind shear between two layers of air moving at different speeds, a humid stable layer under a faster drier layer. #CAwx #MitchellsCove

Tomorrow California kicks off the new water year. More rain on the way! ☔️ #CAwx #MitchellsCove #CAwater
5:30pm today, Santa Cruz was dispatched to a swimmer in trouble off of Mitchell's Beach. Firefighters and Rescue Swimmers quickly responded and got the victims out of the water. There were no injuries to the victim or rescuers.
I paused a sec because the harbor patrol boat sometimes does a recovery.. but GREAT NEWS and a happy ending to this one.. @nativesantacruz.bsky.social has the intel. Firefighters and swimmers to the rescue! 🛟 #MitchellsCove
First time seeing an osprey fishing in #MitchellsCove! I see them at Cowells a lot (maybe bc less kelp for fish to hide)
Just a few thousand seabirds - shearwaters gulls, cormorants, and pelicans - hanging out in #MitchellsCove this afternoon. 🪶
Can confirm, cool clouds on the way. #CAwx #MitchellsCove

Lightning strikes
Five years ago this morning, lightning strikes from remnants of Tropical Storm Fausto ignited fires in the Santa Cruz Mountains that became CZU Lightning Complex wildfire, which destroyed 1,490 buildings and burned 86,500 acres including Big Basin State Park.

Picking up this beauty tomorrow from the brilliant 📸 @jadenschaul.com - three weeks from 5th anniversary of #CZULightningComplex. This is the lightning storm and roll cloud that burned down Big Basin and much of the north coast, #SantaCruzMountains. 🌲 🔥 #MitchellsCove
