About the tides at Carmel Cove
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.2 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Monterey, Monterey Harbor. The average range is about 3.3 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 6.8 ft on December 24, and the lowest is −1.8 ft on December 24.
Carmel Cove is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Monterey, Monterey Harbor: highs come about 3 min and lows about 4 min earlier than there. The nearest other station is Monterey, 7 mi away. For tidal currents, see Point Pinos.
Predictions are based on Monterey, Monterey Harbor.
