About the tides at King Harbor

King Harbor has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The average range is about 3.7 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. The next spring tides peak on October 11, with a range of 6.0 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 1.9 ft.

King Harbor is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is El Segundo, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 5 min later.
