Ask OSIDEQuestions
- Which NOAA tide station does OSIDE use for Oceanside?
- OSIDE uses NOAA predictions for La Jolla (station 9410230), the nearest primary NOAA tide station to Oceanside. Local tide times in Oceanside are typically within a few minutes of these predictions.
- When is the best time for tide pools in Oceanside?
- Go within an hour or two of a low tide, ideally a negative low (below 0.0 ft). The rocky areas near the harbor jetties and north of the pier are worth exploring. Watch for incoming sets and never turn your back on the ocean.
- Is the tide going in or out right now?
- OSIDE compares the current predicted water level with the next tide: if the next tide is a high tide, the water is rising (incoming); if it's a low tide, the water is falling (outgoing).
