About the tides at Point Orient

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.0 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. On a typical day the water moves about 4.2 ft between high and low. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 7.4 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 from 1977 to 1993 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Chevron Oil Company Pier, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 25 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Point San Quentin, 1.9 miles east of.

Predictions are based on San Francisco, San Francisco Bay.
