About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for National City, San Diego Bay from the SAN DIEGO (Broadway) station: high tides adjusted +0.2 ft, 4 min later; low tides adjusted +0.0 ft, 10 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.
