Oregon King Tides 2026 to 2027

Q: When is the next king tide in Oregon?

The next shared king tide dates in Oregon are Nov 25, 2026, when 6 of the state's 6 NOAA stations reach a king tide window. The highest predicted tide on those dates is at Depoe Bay: 10.3 ft above MLLW at 11:32 AM on November 25, 2026, +2.1 ft against mean higher high water. The station table lists each station's first window, and every tide chart page lists all of its windows.

Q: Which Oregon station has the highest king tide this season?

Measured against its own normal high, Depoe Bay (NOAA station 9435827) stands highest: 10.6 ft above MLLW, which is +2.3 ft against mean higher high water there. Across the state's 6 stations the season high runs from +2.0 ft to +2.3 ft above MHHW.

Peak dates and predicted heights for the highest tides NOAA publishes at 6 Oregon stations from October 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027, with the National Weather Service's coastal flood products for the state's zones shown live.

Station by station

Oregon king tide dates and heights

Every NOAA harmonic station on the Oregon coast, with the first king tide window of the season, the season’s highest predicted tide, and how far that peak stands above mean higher high water (MHHW), the average of each day’s higher high tide at that station. Each tide chart page lists all of the station’s windows, day by day, with the moon phase and the live NWS product for its zone.

Tide chart	First king tide window	Season high	Above MHHW	Days 1 ft or more over MHHW	NWS zone

Florence	Nov 24 to 27, 2026, peak Nov 25 11:45 AM	9.4 ft above MLLW	+2.0 ft	22	ORZ103
Charleston (Coos Bay)	Nov 24 to 26, 2026, peak Nov 25 11:35 AM	9.6 ft above MLLW	+2.0 ft	24	ORZ021

Heights are NOAA’s predicted highs in feet above mean lower low water (MLLW), station local time. Days 1 ft or more over MHHW counts the station local days from October 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027 whose highest predicted tide reaches at least one foot above MHHW. The NWS zone is the National Weather Service public forecast zone the station’s coastal flood products are issued for.

The calendar

Dates the Oregon stations share

The peak dates on which the state’s stations reach their king tide windows together, with the station whose peak stands highest above its own MHHW on each. The moon column is the phase at that peak: the biggest predicted tides follow the new and full moons that fall nearest the moon’s closest approach to Earth, which is why the same dates recur along the whole coast.

Peak dates	Stations peaking then	Highest above MHHW	Moon
Nov 25, 2026	6 of 6	Depoe Bay, OR +2.1 ft 10.3 ft above MLLW, Nov 25 11:32 AM	Full Moon
Dec 24, 2026	6 of 6	Depoe Bay, OR +2.3 ft 10.6 ft above MLLW, Dec 24 11:20 AM	Full Moon
Jan 22, 2027	6 of 6	Depoe Bay, OR +2.1 ft 10.4 ft above MLLW, Jan 22 11:16 AM	Full Moon

Full and new moons bring the spring tides, and the ones that fall nearest the moon’s perigee bring the king tides, which is why the moon column beside each peak reads Full Moon or New Moon so often. “Full Moon Over the Sea” by Alfredo J G A Borba, CC BY-SA 4.0

Coastal flood products for the Oregon coast right now

The National Weather Service issues Coastal Flood Advisories, Watches, Warnings and Statements for each public forecast zone when it expects water over land. The Oregon stations on this page sit in 4 NWS zones (ORZ101, ORZ102, ORZ103, ORZ021), and any product active for them is shown here as NWS issued it.

The heights are NOAA’s predictions of the astronomical tide. Wind, barometric pressure and river flow raise or lower the real water level on the day, and the National Weather Service’s coastal flood product for the zone is the authority on whether water is expected over land.

The predicted tide set the date; rain and onshore wind set the depth, which is the part the NWS product above describes. “Miami tidal flooding with rain at high tide during king tides 02” — B137 — CC0

Common questions

Oregon king tides FAQ

When is the next king tide in Oregon?

Which Oregon station has the highest king tide this season?

Does a king tide mean coastal flooding in Oregon?

A king tide is a predicted height of the astronomical tide. Whether water reaches a road, a marina car park or a marsh trail in Oregon depends on wind, barometric pressure, river flow and the shape of the shore on the day. The National Weather Service issues Coastal Flood Advisories, Watches, Warnings and Statements for each coastal zone when it expects water over land, and the live line on this page and on every Oregon station page shows any product active for the state's zones right now, named and linked.

How much higher is a king tide than a normal high tide in Oregon?

Mean higher high water (MHHW) is NOAA's long term average of the higher of each day's two high tides at a station, so "above MHHW" says how far a peak stands above an ordinary day's higher high. In Oregon this season that figure runs from +2.0 ft to +2.3 ft across the 6 stations, with the largest at Depoe Bay. Raw heights above MLLW differ far more from station to station because tide ranges differ, which is why MHHW is the fairer comparison.

Where do the Oregon king tide dates come from?

From NOAA's Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS), which publishes harmonic tide predictions for the 6 Oregon stations listed here. The dates are the highest predicted high tides in those predictions for October 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027; a window is the run of consecutive days whose highest tide stays within 0.3 ft of the peak, and heights above MHHW use the mean higher high water datum NOAA publishes for each station. The moon phase beside each peak is computed for that instant.

NOAA’s National Ocean Service: “A King Tide is a non-scientific term people often use to describe exceptionally high tides.” On these pages the term means the highest predicted tides NOAA publishes for a station from October 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027.Source: oceanservice.noaa.gov
