About the tides at Santa Ana River entrance (inside)

Santa Ana River entrance (inside) has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. On a typical day the water moves about 2.5 ft between high and low. That is smaller than most California stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 3.3 ft, comes on October 11, and the smallest, 2.2 ft, on Saturday.

Santa Ana River entrance (inside) is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Balboa Pier, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 32 min earlier.
