Predictions from NOAA station Ventura, near Ventura. The same times serve Oxnard, Channel Islands Harbor and Port Hueneme; the Oxnard section explains why. These are predictions, not live readings. How we use NOAA tide data
The Ventura tides on this page come from NOAA’s prediction point named Ventura. NOAA does not run a full harmonic station here: it works out Ventura’s highs and lows from its Los Angeles Outer Harbor station, with the high tides 9 minutes later and the low tides 16 minutes later. The same predictions cover the rest of the Ventura County shore down to Oxnard and Port Hueneme, as the Oxnard section explains.
Most people planning a trip look for a date first, so this Ventura, CA tide chart starts with the tide calendar for this month and next, one square per day. After it come the week’s tide table with sunrise and sunset, the next high tides, the Oxnard coast, and the highest tides of the coming winter.
Ventura tide calendar for November and December
Each day shows its lowest low tide between sunrise and sunset, in feet. The deeper the blue, the lower that tide.

Heights in feet above mean lower low water (MLLW).
North toward Rincon
Up the coast to the northwest, NOAA has a full harmonic station at Rincon Island, off Mussel Shoals, about 17 km from Ventura. Set side by side for the 30 days from October 15, 2026, Ventura’s high tides usually came about 10 minutes before Rincon’s and never more than 33 minutes, and its low tides about 3 minutes before. Heights stayed within about two tenths of a foot. On the beaches between the two, expect the tide a few minutes either side of the times in the table.

Highest high tide of each day, top five. Heights in feet above mean lower low water (MLLW).
The Ventura Pier shows what the sea can add on top of the tide. The wooden pier was first built in 1872, and in December 1995 storm surf tore away a 420-foot section of its outer end, which the city did not rebuild. The high tides listed here are astronomical predictions only: NOAA’s numbers leave out storm surge and waves, so on a stormy day the water at the pier and along the beach can reach higher than the table says.
Oxnard tides: Oxnard, Channel Islands Harbor and Port Hueneme
NOAA predicts the tide at Port Hueneme, 16 km southeast of Ventura, from the same Los Angeles Outer Harbor reference station as Ventura: its high tides come 1 minute after Ventura's and its low tides 3 minutes before, with the same heights, so the Ventura times on this page serve Oxnard, Channel Islands Harbor and Port Hueneme too.
- Next low tide in Oxnard
- Next: Monday, November 9 at 3:39 PM, −0.4 ft
- Next high tide in Oxnard
- Next: Monday, November 9 at 9:57 PM, 3.8 ft
NOAA has no prediction point inside Channel Islands Harbor, and the nearest point it does have on the Oxnard coast is Port Hueneme. Use the Ventura tide chart above as the Oxnard tide chart, and the week’s table as the tide chart for Oxnard, CA beaches and the harbor. Channel Islands Harbor is in Oxnard and is run by the Ventura County Harbor Department, which manages about 310 acres there, roughly two thirds of it land and one third water. Boats keep to 5 mph in the harbor and its entrance channel, and the public launch ramp is on Victoria Avenue, in the east channel.
On the west side of the harbor, Hollywood Beach runs for a mile; on the east side, Silver Strand Beach, also a mile long, is known for surfing, boogie boarding and body surfing. Both have lifeguards from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Inside the harbor, Kiddie Beach is the only place where swimming is allowed, and Hobie Beach, just north of it, is where kayaks and paddle boards go in.
The city of Port Hueneme is home to the Port of Hueneme, the only commercial deep-water port between Los Angeles and San Francisco. If you are heading out to Channel Islands National Park, the park’s boat concessionaire, Island Packers, sails from both Ventura Harbor and Channel Islands Harbor, and the times on this page serve both docks.
