A King Tide, a 35-Foot Wave, and the Last Light You'd Expect.King Tides come every November, and most people picture flooding streets and surging channels. That's not what this is.This was taken when a very large open-ocean swell arrived on the exact same day as the year's first King Tide. The wave face reached 35 feet — but what made it singular was the backlight. The sun was positioned directly behind it, and the water turned luminous. That color, that glow through a wall of Pacific water, is something you can spend a career chasing and never quite replicate.The conditions that day came together the way they almost never do — big enough to be extraordinary, clear enough to be beautiful. The November Coast rarely gives you both at once.Every print is made to order on archival-grade media — the same materials used in fine art and museum printing. Printed, inspected, and shipped by Jeremy Burke personally.
