About the tides at Potrero Point

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 4.5 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 7.1 ft. Neap tides follow on Friday, when the range shrinks to 3.1 ft.

Potrero Point is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Rincon Point, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 12 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Mission Rock, 0.6 mile east of.
