A group of photographers gather on an overlook as massive waves crash ashore at Shore Acres State Park near Charleston on the southern Oregon coast on November 6, 2025. The dramatic surf was fueled by unusually high king tides – the year's highest astronomical tides, which occur when the sun and moon align to amplify gravitational pull on the oceans. The National Weather Service issued a High Surf Advisory for the area as waves pounded the cliffs and sent spray soaring into the air.
