One of the lowest tides of the year will be inbound on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so wear Beachcomb shoes and look for sea creatures.
Around noon on May 27th and 28th, Elliott Bay reaches less than -4 feet tall, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Prediction of the tide.
The area is also expected to stoke -2.27 feet Sunday and -3.42 feet Monday.
Next week will be one of the lowest tides of the year, said Matthew Cullen, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. Low tides occur several times each year. These are caused by factors such as the tilt of the Earth in its orbit around the Sun, and the “syzygy” builds collective gravity when the Earth, Moon and Sun are all in place.
Karen said the tide will reach a similar low one month between June 24th and 26th. On December 5th, the lowest value will be -4.11 feet.
The weather was good, but one of the best ways to make the most of the tide is to go pooling the tide.
Seattle Aquarium Beach Naturalist Program will deploy volunteers Marine Environment Experts The aquarium was announced in a news release on the beaches in the Seattle area until July.
On low-tide days, volunteer-led “pods” attract beach fans who read the beach and provide guidance on how to explore the coastline while defending it. Visitors can learn about sea stars, barnacles, moon snails and other charming beach-inhabiting creatures.
Beach Naturalist Event locations and times can be found online St.News/Low-Tides. Among the spots where experts were placed, the tide was particularly low on Wednesday, including Sheehurst Park in Brien, Golden Gardens Park in Seattle and Dash Point State Park in Federal Way.
If you are expanding into the intertidal zone, the following are the following:
Step lightly and leave no traces. Low tide is the most stressful time for animals on the beach. Be careful not to roam Eelgrass – the boy salmon uses it to hide – and knows that turning the rock over can mean ruining the lifelong house of the crab.
Leave the bucket and bucket behind. Creatures are used to cold temperatures and their habitat. Animals carried in buckets are too warm and need to deal with finding a new home when they return.
Gently touch the wildlife. If you want to touch anything, make sure your fingers are wet to protect the wildlife. Naturalists usually advise you to touch something carefully with your own eyelashes.
Please wear good shoes. Ideal footwear can include waterproof boots with good grip, but sports sandals are also good, depending on the cold resistance. Be prepared to do some walks.
