About the tides at Long Beach Fire Boat Pier

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. On a typical day the water moves about 3.8 ft between high and low. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 5.5 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 7.6 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 3.8 ft, today. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 7.3 ft on December 24 and bottom out at −1.8 ft on January 21.

A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. The nearest other station is Long Beach, 0.7 mi away. For tidal currents, see Queens Gate.
