About the tides at Point Reyes

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.5 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. On a typical day the water moves about 3.9 ft between high and low. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 5.8 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 7.4 ft on December 24 and bottom out at −2.0 ft on December 24.

A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It also reports water temperature and air pressure. It was established in 1975. The nearest other station is Inverness, 10 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 15 m later.
