Water fueled by global forces, brutal power of waves. Great catch! Good timing ! Thanks for photo! Do You know why the King Tide appear only two times a year? Is it connected to seasons or moon activity?

    Its connected to the moon and the sun. Higher tides during new moon and full moon, and it gets amplified when the moon orbit is closest to the planet and even more amplified during king tides which is when it all lines up, the earth in the closest part of its orbit to the sun, the moon being closest part of its orbit to earth and then a full or new moon.

      Thanks for explanation, I was thinking about some cumulation of sun and moon gravitation. Amazing stuff!
