About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Point San Quentin from the SAN FRANCISCO (Golden Gate) station: high tides about the same height, 42 min later; low tides about 0.93× the height, 50 min later.
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.
