Shore Acres in the Daylight

So today we headed to Shore Acres to see it in the daylight. We made sure we could be there during high tide.  The King Tides were this weekend and we caught the tail end of them.  The King Tides are the highest the tides get this month, so if you want to see the big waves crashing against the rocks, this is when you go.  The best part is you don’t actually need a storm to see them, so we actually had sunshine to take the pictures.  

So the waves were unbelievable, I was awestruck standing there and feeling the power of the waves crashing around us. It is also very interesting to see what the rocks look like at low tide, to see what the water does to the rock.

This is a video of the waves crashing in and then a picture of those same rocks at low tide

We walked along a couple of trails and came upon this huge tree stump, I wanted to bring it home for cousin Brenda but it wouldn’t fit in the truck.  

 

 

A few more pictures of the waves

Too finish off the day we went back up to Simpson Reef where all the sea lions hang out just to compare the tide levels and see where the sea lions were if the water was so high. Well they were all out surfing the waves.  We watched through binoculars and they were diving and jumping through the waves, they didn’t really have a choice because there was only one shallow section of shore to lay on, everything was underwater. 

This is low tide

Night Tide

Quite the difference.
