Pink: San Diego Bay (live) observed — an offset from blue means the prediction is running ahead or behind.

Loading the current model…

Entrance channel peaks ~1.1–1.5 kt on the ebb; tenths of a knot around Vacation Isle. Phase from tide rate + the SD Bay entrance proxy (no station in the bay).

Night

Darkest hours (20:07–02:23, no moon) coincide with the spring ebb — max ebb 22:36.

Waning crescent 21%→12%; moonset 16:36, before the start

Notes

• HW 6.11 ft at 18:18 — right at the gun. 6.65 ft ebb to LW −0.54 ft at 01:56, then flood to HW 3.75 ft at 08:35.
• SD Bay entrance proxy: slack 18:48 · max ebb 22:36 (−2.3 kt) · slack 02:34 · max flood 05:38 (+1.5 kt) · slack 08:50.
• Where the current data comes from: no sensor or model exists inside Mission Bay. The EBB/FLOOD phase is derived from how fast the Quivira Basin tide is falling or rising, cross-checked against NOAA’s predicted current at the San Diego Bay entrance (~7 nm south, same tidal rhythm) — that’s where the slack/max times above come from. The ~1.1–1.5 kt entrance-channel figures are from the City of San Diego’s hydraulic modeling; around Vacation Isle expect tenths of a knot.
• Near-new moon means spring tides: the biggest current of the week runs on the darkest night.
• 3 km forecast models treat the bay as land — trust the trend, verify against Scripps Pier.
