About the tides at Gaviota State Park

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. The average range is about 3.6 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 5.3 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 7.4 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 3.7 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 7.0 ft on July 3, and the lowest is −2.0 ft on December 24.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 2012 to 2013 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Oil Platform Harvest, 26 mi away, where high tide comes about 11 min later.
