About tides at San Diego
San Diego, CA sits in the Southern California region. Its tide predictions come from the San Diego (Broadway) station (NOAA 9410170), a harmonic NOAA reference station, so predictions come straight from its own published constituents. This spot is a river/bay station, where the tide arrives later and gentler than on the open coast. Tides here swing between about -0.8 ft and 7.1 ft (MLLW) over the next 30 days. The chart above is live, and the 30-day tide forecast below lists every high and low with heights, plus sunrise, sunset, and the moon — everything you need to time a beach day, a surf session, or a low-tide walk.
