AS we approach the time of year that has been very productive for detectorists the last few years, the big news for me today is that the King Tides are back. It is that time of year, and for detectorists, King Tides are significant.
The "king tides" are higher-than-usual tides which typically occur in Florida in the fall, and which can produce local "sunny day" flooding, or flooding which occurs even though there is no rain. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) publishes predictions of high tide heights for their Lake Worth tide gauge here, which can be used to anticipate days on which king tides may occur. NOAA also recommends sea levels at which scientists should be on the alert for potential flooding, called the action stage, and at which they think flooding will occur, called the flood stage. Because so many things, like weather, can influence the height of the tide from day to day, and because your particular location may flood below NOAA's official flood stage, we like to be aware of any high tide which is predicted to come within three inches of the action level, just in case!
Days when we expect the highest tides in 2023 are:
- September 29- October 2, expected within three inches of action stage.
- October 27-31, expected within three inches of action stage.
- November 26, expected within three inches of action stage.

For the first time, the arm of St. Jude will leave Italy and tour churches, schools, prisons, and more across the United States beginning this month, a Catholic evangelization ministry announced this week.
The relic of one of Jesus' 12 apostles, considered to be the patron saint of hopeless or difficult causes, is scheduled to first stop at St. John Cantius Church in Chicago on Sept. 9 and be on tour until May 2024...

Despite the two named storms out there in the Atlantic, both are expected to remain far from the Treasure Coast.
Notice the north wind and northeast surf. Also the tide times.
And below the surf chart shows an increasing surf for Wednesday and Thursday.
