About the tides at La Jolla (Scripps Institution Wharf)
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.9 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. On a typical day the water moves about 3.7 ft between high and low. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 5.3 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 7.2 ft on August 1 and bottom out at −1.9 ft on January 21.
A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It also reports water temperature, wind and air pressure. It was established in 1924. The nearest other station is Mission Bay, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 5 min later. For tidal currents, see Harbor Island (east end), Ssw of.
