About the tides at Palo Alto Yacht Harbor

Palo Alto Yacht Harbor has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The range is large, about 6.2 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. That is larger than most California stations on this site. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 8.7 ft. Neap tides follow tomorrow, when the range shrinks to 6.2 ft.

Palo Alto Yacht Harbor is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Calaveras Point, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 6 min later. For tidal currents, see Dumbarton Point, 2.25 miles SE of.
