Point Reyes Tide Tables And Station 9415020
Use NOAA CO-OPS station 9415020 as the Point Reyes tide-table reference. Keep predicted events, station observations, datums, tidal currents, and current marine conditions distinct, then match that source context to the exact water and access plan.
- Official station reference
- NOAA CO-OPS station 9415020 at Point Reyes, California.
- Station coordinates
- 37.994167, -122.97361 in the current NOAA station metadata.
- Observed-station context
- NOAA metadata currently identifies 9415020 as a tidal observed station with published station datums.
- What to keep separate
- Predicted high and low events, observed water levels, tidal-current timing, and marine forecasts are different products.
- Safety boundary
- A tide table does not replace active warnings, local closures, safe-access checks, or on-water navigation tools.

Start With NOAA Point Reyes Station 9415020
NOAA CO-OPS identifies station 9415020 at Point Reyes and publishes station metadata and station-specific datums for that location. Confirm the station identifier, date, time zone, and selected vertical datum before comparing a predicted time or height with another table.
For a nearby named-place prediction reference, compare Bodega Bay tide conditions.
Read Predicted Time And Height Together
NOAA tide tables provide predicted high and low times and heights. The time identifies the predicted event, while the height is tied to the selected datum. Keep those settings attached to every value you compare so a height from one datum is not treated as the same reference in another table.
Keep Predictions And Observations Distinct
NOAA currently identifies 9415020 as an observed station, but a prediction and an observation answer different questions. A prediction describes an expected astronomical tide event; an observation reports measured water level for an available station product. TideCue keeps that distinction visible and does not freeze changing values into this guide.
Do Not Substitute Tide Height For Tidal Current
Tide height describes vertical water-level change. Tidal current describes horizontal movement, and the timing of slack or strongest flow does not necessarily match a listed high or low. Use the appropriate current prediction when speed, direction, or slack timing is the decision-critical signal.
Match The Station To The Exact Water
Station 9415020 is the named Point Reyes reference, not an exact minute-by-minute answer for every beach, inlet, harbor, or shoreline around the headlands. Confirm the appropriate official source, current marine forecast, local access status, and conditions for the precise water you plan to visit.
Use The Table As One Planning Signal
Start with the next predicted change, then compare it with observed-station context where available, daylight, wind, marine conditions, safe access, and the exact saved water. This keeps the source useful without turning a predicted event into navigation advice or a catch guarantee.

Common questions
Which NOAA tide station does TideCue use for Point Reyes?
This page uses NOAA CO-OPS station 9415020 at Point Reyes, California, as its tide-table reference.
What does the Point Reyes tide table show?
It shows predicted high and low times and heights for station 9415020 for the selected date, time zone, and vertical datum.
Does NOAA station 9415020 publish observed-station data?
NOAA metadata currently identifies 9415020 as an observed tidal station. Availability can change, so check the current NOAA station page rather than relying on a frozen value here.
Is high or low tide the same as slack current at Point Reyes?
Not necessarily. Tide height and tidal current are different products, and slack-current timing can differ from a predicted high or low.
Does the Point Reyes station apply to every nearby shoreline?
No. Use station 9415020 as the named reference, then verify the appropriate prediction, forecast, access information, and conditions for the exact water you will visit.
