California tides: quick answers

Where is the biggest tide range in California?

What kind of tides does California have?

187 of 193 California stations have mixed semidiurnal tides (usually two highs and two lows a day, of noticeably unequal height); 6 are semidiurnal.

When are the highest tides of the next 12 months in California?

NOAA predictions put the year's highest tide on December 24, 2026 at 142 of 193 California stations, and on July 4, 2027 at 32 more. Extra-high tides like these are often called king tides; wind and storm surge can push water higher still.
