Where the times come from
Times and heights are NOAA's predictions for its San Clemente station (TWC0419), 7.4 km (4.6 mi) from the beach.
The station sits on the open coast.
NOAA works out this station as an offset from a nearby reference station, so its times are estimates and the windows here say about.
What this page cannot tell you
These are predictions of the astronomical tide. Wind, swell and air pressure move the real water level, and a big swell can cover a low that looks good here.
This page says nothing about what you may find in the pools, whether you may enter or collect, or how to look after yourself on the rocks. California State Parks, Doheny State Beach manages this shore.
