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 pattern follows the reference station at Los Angeles, Outer Harbor. 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 7.3 ft. Neap tides follow on Monday, when the range shrinks to 0.9 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 7.0 ft on December 24, and the lowest is −1.9 ft on January 21.

King Harbor is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Los Angeles, Outer Harbor: highs come about 8 min and lows about 7 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here in 1975 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is El Segundo, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 5 min later.

Predictions are based on Los Angeles, Outer Harbor.
