Catch the December King Tides on December 13th and 14th, where the high tide will reach almost 9 feet!

Sunday 12/13: High Tide @10:29am at the Bay
Monday 12/14: High Tide @11:12am at the Bay

These high tides make for exciting nature viewing, as the high water levels can flush out secretive animals like the Ridgway’s Rail. Raptors, egrets and herons will also likely be out on the hunt. Come down to the Shoreline and walk the trails. Don’t forget to share any photos of the King Tides with the hashtag

As November is Native American Heritage month, it’s important to acknowledge and understand Indigenous culture and America’s history of colonialism. That can start with a question: Whose land are you on?

Resources like Native Land’s app and website (https://native-land.ca/) allow you to better understand not only the natural places you explore and recreate on, but the land you live on.

We at the Hayward Shoreline acknowledge we are on Chochenyo and Ohlone land.

California King Tides are early this year! They will occur November 15-16, and again December 13-14. These predictable highest of high tides, while not themselves a result of sea level rise, offer a view of how rising sea levels will impact our future. California Coastal Commission invites citizen scientist observations of King Tides “to help us plan for sea level rise and motivate us to stop burning fossil fuels.”

Come walk the trails to see the shoreline transformed, and share your photos of King Tides this year with the tag or by going to coastal.ca.gov/kingtides and uploading your photos.

Sunday 11/15: High Tide @11:37am at the Bay
Monday 11/16: High Tide @12:18pm at the Bay

Sunday 12/13: High Tide @10:29am at the Bay

A message from the General Manager to our H.A.R.D. Community.

Several weeks ago, missing our interactions with trail users, we put out some chalk and invited visitors to write their thoughts of hope on our deck. Here are some of those hopeful messages to brighten your evening.

We'd like to know your thoughts!

The Hayward Area Shoreline Planning Agency (HASPA) is working to develop a Shoreline Adaptation Master Plan that studies the effects of sea-level rise and develops a roadmap for adaptation. HASPA invites the community to our new webpage that summarizes the project to date including videos, maps and our preliminary design alternatives. Residents are invited to share their thoughts directly at: https://haywardshorelinemasterplan.com/ The comment forum will be open until June 12th.
