Why aren’t any low tides listed for the dates I want to visit?

Tides vary day-to-day. To find out what the tides are today, follow this link: Princeton/Half Moon Bay tide tables.  Point to a date for a list of tide heights and times.  Click a date to get a detailed view to see when the tide will be lower than 1 foot, for the best tidepooling conditions.

What if there’s “no suitable low tide” when you want to visit? What this means is that the tidepools are under water that is too deep to see the tidepool creatures, or that the low tide does not occur during daylight visiting hours (8 a.m. – sunset, daily).  Even if the tide is not low enough for tidepooling, there are blufftop trails to explore.
