Seasonal Tides?
A question for those who have lived in northern Baja for a while... do the tides change seasonally? This week (due to full moon??) the tides never go
out far enough to have a good walk on the beach, whereas a couple weeks ago one could walk miles and miles at low tide. I am hoping I won't lose my
walking area, so thought I'd ask. We're near Puerto Nuevo and now even at low tide, the waves splash the rocks.

Daily Change
The Tides change with each daily cycle dependent on the Moon's position which itself, because of orbital variations, goes through an 18.6 (for legal
purposes in determing "Mean", that's rounded to 19 ) years cycle of variation. The orbital variations are the reason why "one" Full-Moon" doesn't
have the same effect as another in the same place.

The ocean is rising as the result of global warming! You will never get your beach back!

Global warming is causing the polar bears to chase seals all the way to Baja.

We had a huge high tide in Carlsbad, Ca. last night too.... It is that time of year. They're usually higher and lower at this time and due to
the full or new moon. Great for tide pooling and claming..... |

yes, the winter high tides and larger-wave winter storms cause more beach erosion than at other times of the year.

There will be a negative 1' low tide on 2-19-12 at 2:01. Go out front and let us know if there's some sand showing on the beach.
