About the tides at San Francisco
San Francisco has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The pattern follows the reference station at San Francisco, San Francisco Bay. The average range is about 4.2 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 7.4 ft on December 24, and the lowest is −1.8 ft on December 24.
San Francisco is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting San Francisco, San Francisco Bay: highs come about 13 min and lows about 11 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1974 to 2000 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Alcatraz Island, 1 mi away. For tidal currents, see North Point, Pier 35, north of.
Predictions are based on San Francisco, San Francisco Bay.
