About the tides at South Bay Wreck
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 6.1 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. That is larger than most California stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 8.7 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 4.7 ft, on Friday.
South Bay Wreck is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Coyote Hills Slough entrance, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 10 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Redwood Point, 1.7nm East of.
