About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for Elkhorn Slough, Highway 1 Bridge from the MONTEREY, MONTEREY BAY station: high tides about 0.95× the height, 3 min later; low tides about 0.90× the height, 2 min earlier.

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.
