About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for Palo Alto Yacht Harbor from the SAN FRANCISCO (Golden Gate) station: high tides about 1.34× the height, 59 min later; low tides about 0.68× the height, 134 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.
