The tide cycles every 24 hours, 50 minutes, so that every day the high and low tides come 50 minutes later. This can make for great tide pooling on low tides.
#TIDAL POOLS IN SAN DIEGO FULL#
Full moons and new moons exert the strongest gravitational pull and thus result in very high and very low tides. The phase of the moon also influences the tides by exerting gravitational force on the ocean. In some areas, the tide drops far enough to create pools only during this period, while in other areas tide pools are accessible year-round during low tides. Generally speaking, the best time for tide pooling in San Diego is between November and March when the lowest tides occur during the day.
Tides vary on an annual cycle as a result of the gravitational force of the sun. Generally speaking, the lower the tide the better for exploring the rocky shelves along the shore, as more tide pools will be exposed and accessible. Below that, you’ll find a list of some of the best places for tide pooling in San Diego. Here, I’ve provided tips for finding the best times of day and year to go tide pooling and what to bring with you, based on my past experiences. Beyond catching waves and relaxing on the sand, another great way to explore the coastline is tide pooling – exploring the low-tide pools in rocky areas along the shore that are home to Southern California’s unique sea life. San Diego is known for its many sun-drenched beaches and surf breaks, and for good reason.
