About the tides at Ocean Beach

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.8 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at SAN FRANCISCO (Golden Gate). The average range is about 4.1 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. The next spring tides peak on Sunday, with a range of 6.2 ft. Neap tides follow on October 18, when the range shrinks to 1.3 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 7.3 ft on December 24, and the lowest is −1.8 ft on December 24.

Ocean Beach is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting SAN FRANCISCO (Golden Gate): highs come about 49 min and lows about 35 min earlier than there. The nearest other station is Point Bonita, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 32 min later. For tidal currents, see Point Lobos, 1.3 nmi. SW of.

Predictions are based on SAN FRANCISCO (Golden Gate).
