The Net reporting mid 90"s. Beaches should be a few deg cooler. My place 4:48p 95 deg. I'm inland 5 miles from beaches so a little less humid but a
few deg hotter.

soaz, I can most certainly be wrong... However, I am telling you what my thermometer and body said with what I posted above... Also, there is more
than one San Felipe in Mexico... Trust Nomads more than google weather perhaps?

My experience is that San Felipe on the beach in mid-summer is at 85 degrees fahrenheit, plus or minus a couple of degrees. The temperature stays the
same day and night, with the ocean breeze helping in the day, and the lack of sun helping at night. It is ok for messing around a little, but it does
get to me if I am doing serious outside work.
Is Shell Island the peninsula that forms Laguna Percebu?

Yes, the north half...
On Capt. Mike's GIANT Baja wall map, it is shown as a complete island... On the topos it shows the two lagoons on both ends and salt marsh seperating
the rest of it from Baja.
During extreme full tides, water does surround it, so 'island' is not just a fantasy name... However, many 'islands' are connected to the mainland by
narrow strips of land (Coronado Island & North Island, Shelter Island, Harbor Island, Balboa Island...)
From above (looking south, just east of Percebu)
From space...

Go to the San Felipe web site for this month's tide chart... http://www.sanfelipe.com.mx
Here's the page: http://www.sanfelipe.com.mx/weather/tide_calendars.html
I can tell you as a general rule, during full and new moons, the tides are the greatest... and high tide will be at or a little after noon and
midnight. Low tide will be at sunrise and sunset.
During a quarter moon, the high tides are near sun rise and sun set, and the low tides are near noon and midnight.
Photo of low tide, in the morning (last February). High tide will come all the way up to where you see the smooth, wet sand meet the dry sand, near
where I was standing, as it had just a few hours earlier!...

Sorry, David, but the tides are in no way dependent on the rising and setting of the sun at any time of the year. They are dependent upon the
positioning of the moon in relation to the earth. And that varies throughout the year, from day to day.
High and low tide can and do occur at ANY time of the day or night, even in areas that experience only one high and one low per 24 hour period.
I think what you have observed is simply coincidental at the times you have visited Shell Island.

Tides ARE dependent on the sun's position...44% as compared to the moon's 56%.....they both work together....

i know that. I chose to edit out the sun discussion from my original post as being irrelevant.
While the sun and moon exert gravitational influences, there is no correlation between the rising and setting of the sun and the rising and setting of
the tides that I have ever learned.
Look at David's tide table throught the years. High tides at 3pm, low tides at midnite. Every conceiveable permutation.

Those fishing from San Lucas Cove know to leave their tin boats at the shoreline palapas in the winter and about a hundred yards offshore near the
channel in the summertime.
The same high tide occurs at 8-10 AM in the winter time and around midnight in the summer time.
You can always tell a newcomer as he's left stranded on shore when everyone else is launching at morning's first light in the summer.

Of Interest, at El Requeson (Bahia Concepcion) the tide stayed high almost all day the two days we were there (between a quarter and full moon). Went
out as the sun set and came back up mid morning, low all night! That's one high and one low per 24 hours... I would like to know how the upper gulf
doubles that... and does the the water 'buldge' in the middle of the gulf when it is low tide on the shore?
