About the tides at Oakland Middle Harbor

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. The pattern follows the reference station at San Francisco, San Francisco Bay. On a typical day the water moves about 4.5 ft between high and low. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 6.2 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 8.2 ft, comes on October 28, and the smallest, 1.7 ft, tomorrow. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 7.7 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 in 1994 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Oakland, 0.7 mi away, where high tide comes about 7 min later. For tidal currents, see Oakland Inner Harbor entrance.

Predictions are based on San Francisco, San Francisco Bay.
