## Where the times come from

Times and heights are NOAA's predictions for its Newport Bay Entrance, Corona del Mar station (9410580), 7.9 km (4.9 mi) from the beach.

The station sits in a bay.

Because the station is not on the open shore, the times and heights on the beach itself can differ from the station's.

NOAA predicts this station from its own long record.

## What this page cannot tell you

These are predictions of the astronomical tide. Wind, swell and air pressure move the real water level, and a big swell can cover a low that looks good here.

This page says nothing about what you may find in the pools, whether you may enter or collect, or how to look after yourself on the rocks. California State Parks, Crystal Cove State Park manages this shore.
