Where the times come from

Times and heights are NOAA's predictions for its Santa Cruz, Monterey Bay station (9413745), 3.7 km (2.3 mi) from the beach.

The station sits in a bay.

Because the station is not on the open shore, the times and heights on the beach itself can differ from the station's.

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 manages this shore.
