Wind and weather at Point Reyes
Seven days from the National Weather Service forecast for this stretch of coast. Each row is the range across the whole day, not a reading for one moment.
| Day | Wind | Gusts | Air | Sky | Rain | Waves |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Today | 16–22 kn NW | 32 kn | 57–64 °F | Mostly sunny | 0 % | 6 ft 8 s |
| Mon, September 14 | 9–16 kn NW | 24 kn | 56–64 °F | Mostly sunny | 0 % | 8 ft 9 s |
| Tue, September 15 | 4–15 kn NW | 20 kn | 56–62 °F | Mostly sunny | 0 % | 8 ft 9 s |
| Wed, September 16 | 3–5 kn WNW | 8 kn | 56–63 °F | Partly cloudy | 0 % | 5 ft 9 s |
| Thu, September 17 | 2–5 kn WNW | 7 kn | 58–64 °F | Partly cloudy | 0 % | 4 ft 8 s |
| Fri, September 18 | 3–11 kn WNW | 16 kn | 58–64 °F | Partly cloudy | 0 % | 4 ft 9 s |

Boating, beach and fishing at Point Reyes
The same forecast as above, read for three things people do here. Each verdict names what decided it.
| Day | Boating | Beach | Fishing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Today | Poor6 ft of sea | Pooronly 64 °F | Poorgusts to 32 kn |
| Mon, September 14 | Poor8 ft of sea | Pooronly 64 °F | Fairwind to 16 kn |
| Tue, September 15 | Poor8 ft of sea | Pooronly 62 °F | Goodlight wind, major window in daylight |
| Wed, September 16 | Poor5 ft of sea | Pooronly 63 °F | Goodlight wind, major window in daylight |
| Thu, September 17 | Fair4 ft of sea | Pooronly 64 °F | Goodlight wind, major window in daylight |
| Fri, September 18 | Fair4 ft of sea | Pooronly 64 °F | Goodlight wind, major window in daylight |
| Sat, September 19 | Poor5 ft of sea | Pooronly 63 °F | Fairwind to 16 kn |
Boating turns to Poor at the National Weather Service small craft threshold — sustained wind of 22 kn, gusts of 26 kn, or seas of 5 ft — and to Fair at 15 kn or 3 ft. Beach weighs air temperature, chance of rain and wind.Fishing asks whether the day is fishable at all and whether a solunar major window falls in daylight; it is not a prediction of what will bite. None of this replaces the marine forecast before you go out.

Solunar windows for Point Reyes
The moon pulls hardest when it is directly overhead or on the far side of the earth — the two major windows of about two hours. The shorter minor windows sit around moonrise and moonset. Anglers use them to pick a time on the water; they are computed from the moon's position, not measured.

Questions about Point Reyes tides
Answered from the same NOAA predictions as the table above; the solunar windows come from this page's own moon calculation. Where this page has no basis for an answer, there is no entry.
- What time is high tide in Point Reyes today?
- High water at 12:40 am (5.3 ft) and 12:48 pm (5.9 ft), local time in Point Reyes. Heights are feet above MLLW. Because the tide runs on the moon rather than the clock, each turn falls roughly 50 minutes later tomorrow — the seven-day table above carries the shift.
- What time is low tide in Point Reyes today?
- Low water at 6:36 am (1.3 ft) and 7:22 pm (0.6 ft), local time in Point Reyes. A height below zero is a minus tide: the water falls further than MLLW, the level the heights are counted from.
- How many tides does Point Reyes get in a day?
- Two high waters and two low waters on most days, a little over six hours apart. Over the seven days on this page that comes to 14 high waters and 13 low waters. Where a date shows only three turns, the fourth has slipped past midnight and is listed under the following day.
- What is the tidal range at Point Reyes?
- About 5.3 ft between today's lowest and highest water. Across the next seven days the water moves between 0.6 and 5.9 ft — a span of about 5.3 ft. The range is widest around new and full moon and narrowest at the quarters, so it changes from week to week.
- Which tide station do these Point Reyes tide times come from?
- NOAA station 9415020 — a reference station. The outer-coast station near the lighthouse, about 18 km from the inland village of Point Reyes Station. A reference station has its own long-running record, which is the strongest basis NOAA publishes. The predictions here are NOAA's, unchanged.
- What time zone are the Point Reyes tide times in?
- Every time on this page is clock time in Point Reyes — the America/Los_Angeles zone, daylight saving already applied. Nothing has to be converted, and no time is shown in UTC except the retrieval stamp at the foot of the page.
- When are the solunar windows at Point Reyes today?
- The major windows run 1:45 am to 3:45 am and 2:07 pm to 4:07 pm, with shorter minor windows around moonrise and moonset. They are computed from the moon's position over Point Reyes, not measured — anglers use them to pick a time on the water. The moon is 8% lit and waxing.
- How far ahead does this Point Reyes tide chart go?
- Seven days in the table, and every high and low water for September 2026 and October 2026 in the calendar below it. The page is rebuilt every morning, so the first day is always today.
