About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for Balboa Pier, Newport Beach from the LOS ANGELES (Outer Harbor) station: high tides about 0.96× the height, 9 min earlier; low tides about 0.96× the height, at the same time.

Mixed semidiurnal tides — two unequal highs and two unequal lows a day — with ranges growing as you head north. Harbor entrances feel the swell as much as the tide.
