About the tides at South San Diego Bay
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 2.0 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. On a typical day the water moves about 4.2 ft between high and low. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 5.9 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 7.9 ft on December 24 and bottom out at −2.0 ft on January 21.
Predictions for South San Diego Bay come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here in 2017 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is National City, 3 mi away. For tidal currents, see Sweetwater Channel, southwest of.
