King Tide October 16, 2020

The annual "King Tide" is back in South Florida for three months of ultra high tides in the Fall. This video is a time lapse of the tide coming in at Matheson Hammock Park the morning of October 16, 2020.
What is normally the sandy beach most of the year goes underwater as the tide rolls in.
The term "King Tide" is a non-scientific description of exceptionally high tides. These higher than normal tides occur during a new or full moon, when the Moon is at its perigee or during specific seasons.
Starting in September and occurring a few days each month through November, the "King Tide" phenomenon will leave parts of South Florida flooded.
Matheson Hammock Park is Miami-Dade County's first park, opening in 1930 and situated on Biscayne Bay. The park is situated on land donated by William J. Matheson and designed by landscape architect William Lyman Phillips.
