About the tides at Long Beach
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.7 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. On a typical day the water moves about 4.4 ft between high and low. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 4.9 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 5.3 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 4.0 ft, on Sunday.
Predictions for Long Beach come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 2013 to 2014 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Long Beach (Inside), 0.4 mi away, where high tide comes about 11 min later. For tidal currents, see Long Beach, inside, between bridges.
