Best low-tide window in San Buenaventura
The next low tide is around 4:15 PM at -0.3 ft — the window when flats, sandbars, and tide pools are most exposed for clamming, shore fishing, and tide-pooling. Water turns and starts rising back toward the next high around 10:42 PM, so give yourself a wide margin and head back well before then.
The water turns and returns quickly once the tide starts rising. Watch for slick rocks, soft mud, and rip currents, mind the next high-tide time, and follow local shellfishing regulations and closures.
About this tide station
Predictions on this page come from NOAA CO-OPS station Ventura (#9411189), a tide-prediction station near San Buenaventura, CA (a subordinate station: NOAA publishes its high and low times but no 6-minute curve). Heights are in feet relative to Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) — NOAA’s standard tidal datum — and times are in the station’s local time. These are astronomical predictions: weather, wind, and storm surge can push the actual water level above or below them.
