Higher-than-normal (and lower-than-normal tides) are headed back to San Diego's coasts this weekend, according to NBC 7 meteorologists.
King tides — the phenomenon that describes what are typically some of the highest tides of the year — are happening Friday, Saturday and Sunday. These uniquely high tides are caused by a stronger-than-normal gravitational pull from the moon and sun. A full moon is expected to occur on Sunday.
NBC 7's meteorologist Brooke Martell said high tides could peak around 7 feet Friday through Sunday, and there will be some stronger surf as we head into the weekend.
Between the higher-than-normal tide and elevated surf, minor coastal flooding is possible.
