About the tides at South San Francisco

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.9 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at San Francisco, San Francisco Bay. With a mean range of about 5.2 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. That is larger than most California stations on this site. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 8.4 ft on December 24 and bottom out at −1.8 ft on December 24.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at San Francisco, San Francisco Bay, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Oyster Point Marina, 0.7 mi away. For tidal currents, see Point San Bruno, 0.51 nmi. east of.

Predictions are based on San Francisco, San Francisco Bay.
