About the tides at Port San Luis
This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The average range is about 3.6 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 5.3 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 7.0 ft on December 24, and the lowest is −1.9 ft on December 24.
San Luis Obispo Bay is a NOAA water level station with a live gauge, updated every 6 minutes. Predictions come from the station's own tide records. It also reports water temperature and air pressure. It was established in 1933. The nearest other station is San Simeon, 41 mi away, where high tide comes about 8 min later.
Tide predictions and water levels from NOAA CO-OPS. For planning only, not for navigation. Real water levels can differ because of wind, air pressure and river flow. Always check conditions on site.
