Perigean Spring Tides, November 2024

Nov 17, 2024 by @turgon@dosgame.club

After rollerskating, my family wanted to visit the tidepools at the lowest tide during the perigean spring tide. It's a very cool thing to see. I fueled my tired, rollerskate-battered body with a few carrots, a stolen cupcake, and willpower, and off we went!

We ended up finding street parking in Pleasure Point near Point Market and taking the surfer stairs down, where we found several hundred fellow explorers enjoying the novelty of wandering about in the sea's domain.

dozens of people mill about on the wide open tidepools, exposed by the extreme low tide, while the sun sets in the background

the kelp was everywhere along with dark green sea grass, but here the slick surface of the leaves reflected a slate grey sky with a mirror finish

as we were leaving, i stole this shot from far out on the tidepools. across the sea grass and water you can see pleasure point from a view only surfers usually get.

back on the surfer stairs with the light fading, i took a long exposure shot of a group of surfers returning. the sky's blues and purples above and the streetlight on the rocks and sand below.
