About the tides at Rincon 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. On a typical day the water moves about 4.5 ft between high and low. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 6.3 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 8.2 ft, comes on October 28, and the smallest, 1.6 ft, on Sunday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 7.6 ft on December 24 and bottom out at −1.9 ft on June 6.

Predictions for Rincon Point come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1974 to 1981 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is San Francisco, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 8 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Rincon Point.
