About the tides at Oakland
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.9 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at San Francisco, San Francisco Bay. On a typical day the water moves about 4.3 ft between high and low. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 6.4 ft, comes tomorrow, and the smallest, 1.5 ft, on October 17. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 7.5 ft on December 24 and bottom out at −1.8 ft on December 24.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at San Francisco, San Francisco Bay, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here from 1974 to 1978 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Oakland Middle Harbor, 0.7 mi away, where high tide comes about 7 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Oakland Inner Harbor entrance.
Predictions are based on San Francisco, San Francisco Bay.
