## 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.

One month page from the printed calendar: La Jolla Cove in January 2027, with each picked day's low time, height, window, sunrise and sunset, and room for notes. The page shown is stamped Sample.
