Weather
Keep current on local weather and tidal conditions using these web sites. The weather information is supplied by local weather stations. The tidal data comes from a station at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Refer to the Gliderport Weather Station before jumping off on your next soaring adventure. Web cams are located around the area to give you a bird's eye view of current conditions. These sites help plan surfing, walks/runs on the beach, beachcombing, tidepool exploring, surf fishing and hang gliding. |

Current Tides - Observed vs. Predicted 301-713-2815 x119 These data from Scripps Pier |
|
The Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS) collects, analyzes and distributes historical and real-time observations and predictions of water levels, coastal currents and other meteorological and oceanographic data. This is part of an integrated National Ocean Service program supporting safe maritime navigation, more productive water-borne commerce, and the needs of the National Weather Service, coastal zone management, engineering and surveying communities.

San Diego Bay Live Webcam San Diego Bay, Pt. Loma, Harbor, City |
|
Live picture of downtown San Diego from across San Diego Bay. The palm trees below are on Shelter Island, a man made island built up by dredging in 1934. Just past the water line is Balboa Park (a bunch of trees in the middle, left of the buildings on the wider shot). The airplanes flying over the city and moving to the left (north west) are approaching Lindberg Field to land. They will usually reverse direction during a strong Santa Ana wind. You can sometimes see snow off in the distance on Mt. Laguna during a clear winter day. |

The San Diego Coastal Ocean Observing System provides a gateway for up-to-date oceanographic, weather, and water quality data for the San Diego coastal region.Funded under the California Clean Beaches Initiative, the system merges a number of emerging technologies used for oceanographic and environmental sensing into a regional sensor network to provide a heightened awareness of the coastal environment.Partnerships established with this program has enabled a direct link between the information generated by this observing system, Scripps oceanographers, and a wide audience of end-users including local and regional agencies, policy makers, and the public at large. Stay tuned as the system grows and expands. See related sites at: http://www.sccoos.org/ and http://www.cordc.ucsd.edu/. |
