How far is the tide station from San Francisco, CA?

The reference NOAA station (Potrero Point) is about 3.5 km from San Francisco, CA's center. Tide times shift along the coast, so the further from the station you are, the more local conditions can differ.

Why do tides shift about 50 minutes later each day?

The moon rises about 50 minutes later each day because it moves forward in its orbit while the Earth rotates. The tides follow the moon, so each day's high and low tides land roughly 50 minutes later on the clock.
