About the tides at Alameda Creek

This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. With a mean range of about 5.2 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. That is larger than most California stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 6.7 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 5.7 ft, tomorrow.

Alameda Creek is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is San Mateo Bridge (east end), 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 9 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Little Coyote Pt., 3.1 nmi. ENE of.
