Encinitas tides

Predicted from La Jolla (Scripps Institution Wharf), NOAA station 9410230, 12 miles away. No gauge exists between Scripps Pier and San Clemente. Measured against each other those two differ by nine minutes and six hundredths of a foot across forty-three miles of open coast, so these figures hold good to within a few minutes anywhere along it. Heights in feet above MLLW. Also covers Moonlight Beach, Swamis, Cardiff State Beach, Beacons and Leucadia.

About Encinitas

Encinitas is a iconic surf town defined by coastal bluffs and famous beaches including Moonlight Beach, Swami’s, Cardiff State Beach, Beacons, and Leucadia. Swami’s features a world-renowned point break for surfers, alongside extensive intertidal reef platforms that host rich tide pools at low tide. Nearby Cardiff State Beach offers gentle reef breaks and accessible tide pooling at Elijo Lagoon inlet. A low tide chart is mandatory here: negative low tides are required to explore the exposed shale reefs at Swami’s and Cardiff safely, and high tides submerge narrow beach stretches beneath the fragile bluffs of Leucadia and Beacons.
