About the tides at San Mateo Bridge (west end)

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. With a mean range of about 5.9 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. That is larger than most California stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 7.7 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 8.2 ft, comes tomorrow, and the smallest, 2.5 ft, on October 17. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 9.1 ft on December 24 and bottom out at −2.0 ft on July 5.

Predictions for San Mateo Bridge (west end) 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 2005 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Bay Slough, 2 mi away. For tidal currents, see San Mateo Bridge.
