About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for San Simeon from the PORT SAN LUIS station: high tides about the same height, 8 min later; low tides about the same height, 7 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.
