About the tides at Ocean Beach

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.3 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 7.3 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, San Francisco Bay: 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, San Francisco Bay.
