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 pattern follows the reference station at San Francisco, San Francisco Bay. The average range is about 4.5 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. The next spring tides peak tomorrow, with a range of 6.6 ft. Neap tides follow on October 17, when the range shrinks to 1.7 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 7.7 ft on December 24, and the lowest is −1.8 ft on December 24.

Potrero Point is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting San Francisco, San Francisco Bay: highs come about 33 min and lows about 46 min later than there. The nearest other station is Rincon Point, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 11 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Mission Rock, 0.6 mile east of.

Predictions are based on San Francisco, San Francisco Bay.
