Baja Tidal charts?

Allwaters - 12-16-2020 at 03:00 PM

Hi All,
I am heading down, down, down to the bit smaller latitudes... I figure on crossing at Mexicali or Yuma around mid Jan for fishing, camping etc. Does anyone have a link to tidal charts or a way to get a hardcopy of the tides down on Sea of Cortez side? Of better yet for the entire Baja peninsula? Planning on spending around 3 months or so and don't figure on having internet but once or twice while I am down there. So if I can either obtain a hardcopy or download the next several months it would be awesome. Thanx in advance!

here in san diego, most all of the fishing and marine stores have tide books for a couple bucks or less. they typically have correction factors for several points in baja.
you can print your own tide tables/charts from the naval observatory website. but for $2 you can buy one at any fishing or marine store

Use the app Tide Charts from 7th gear.

It has Baja. No internet required to use it. The user interface is very good.

This is my favorite. It's a Mex govt website and for B de LA I've found it to be much more accurate than anything else. Some are hours off. You can pick your month and location then print it out. It recently added 2021 and has a calendar (my preference) or chart view although it looks like the calendar view is the only one available for 2021. It's in Spanish but easy enough to figure out if you aren't fluent.

Check that link again... or it could be just me, but can't get it to show or it is really slow loading? Is there a link without going to Google Translate?

Sorry about the translate link. I think I had that on when I was further up in the cicese site and it got dumped into my favorites.
