Great tides in Newport Beach & Corona del Mar
The upcoming tides in Newport Beach & Corona del Mar worth planning around, ranked from the next 90 days of predictions (October 20, 2026 to January 17, 2027).
Newport Beach is built around the entrance to Newport Bay: two jetties reach into the Pacific between Corona del Mar on the east side and the Balboa Peninsula on the west, with the Wedge — the famous shore-break at the east jetty — at the harbour mouth. North-west up the coast from Corona del Mar, Crystal Cove State Park protects a long stretch of bluffs, coves and reef. Predictions here come from the gauge at the bay entrance, so they describe the open-coast side of the harbour.

Daylight low tides
Low tides that fall between sunrise and sunset in Newport Beach & Corona del Mar, ranked by height. A low tide of 1.5 ft (0.46 m) or lower generally exposes much more of the intertidal zone than an ordinary low; at or below 0.0 ft the exposure is at its best. New to tidepooling?

Predictions for this page
Station: NEWPORT BEACH, NEWPORT BAY ENTRANCE (NOAA station 9410580, a reference station). Heights are relative to the MLLW datum (Mean Lower Low Water). Times are local station time, shown with daylight saving applied where it is in effect. Rankings compare events at this station only, over the window above.
How these rankings are calculated
Great Tides downloads the high/low tide predictions published by NOAA CO-OPS for station 9410580 (NEWPORT BEACH, NEWPORT BAY ENTRANCE) covering October 20, 2026 to January 17, 2027, and ranks the events directly: low tides by predicted height ascending, high tides by predicted height descending, and tidal ranges by the absolute height difference between consecutive events. Daylight is calculated for Newport Beach & Corona del Mar's coordinates (latitude 33.603, longitude -117.883) with a standard solar-position calculation: a low tide counts as a daylight low when its predicted time falls between that day's sunrise and sunset. Quality labels use height thresholds only: at or below 0.0 ft is labelled “Excellent tidepooling” and 0.0 to 1.5 ft “Good tidepooling”. Rankings are relative to this station and this window; heights at different stations use the same MLLW datum name but are local to each station and are not directly interchangeable.
Questions
Where do these predictions come from?
From NOAA CO-OPS, the US agency that operates the national tide-gauge network. The predictions for Newport Beach & Corona del Mar are calculated for the NEWPORT BEACH, NEWPORT BAY ENTRANCE station (9410580). This page was generated from the same predictions NOAA publishes in its own tide tables.
Why does the station name differ from the place name?
Places and tide stations are not the same thing. A station is a specific gauge or calculation point; NEWPORT BEACH, NEWPORT BAY ENTRANCE is the station chosen to represent Newport Beach & Corona del Mar. Tide times and heights shift gradually along the coast, so spots a few miles away will see slightly different times.
Are these live water levels?
No. These are astronomical predictions, calculated in advance from the positions of the Moon and Sun. Wind, storms and air pressure push real water levels above or below the prediction, sometimes by a foot or more.
Can I plan a tidepool visit from this page alone?
Treat the prediction as the starting point, not the whole plan: check the local forecast and conditions before you go, and look up any rules for the Newport Bay entrance, between Corona del Mar and the Balboa Peninsula locally. A low prediction tells you when the water will be out; it says nothing by itself about surf, weather or whether a particular spot is safe that day.
