About the tides at Oakland Pier
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. The average range is about 4.1 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 7.4 ft on December 24, and the lowest is −1.8 ft on December 24.
Oakland Pier is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting San Francisco, San Francisco Bay: highs come about 33 min and lows about 48 min later than there. The nearest other station is Oakland Middle Harbor, 0.8 mi away, where high tide comes about 12 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Oakland Inner Harbor Channel.
Predictions are based on San Francisco, San Francisco Bay.
