About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for San Nicolas Island from the LOS ANGELES (Outer Harbor) station: high tides about 0.88× the height, 10 min later; low tides about 0.88× the height, 21 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.
