It has just been announced on Channel 7 that the water will be switched off from 5pm - 8pm this evening.

About the tides
Don't be to complacent about this. I was in Isobel on the Chesapeake, which is a big body of water enclosed up each side. When the hurricane winds shifted to the south...which this one is supposed to...it blew the water up the bay.
We are bounded in the east the same way by the reef. The next two high tides are the issue, especially when the winds shift from the south. Please keep this in mind as, in my experience, it can produce an unexpected surge. Not just the next high tide, but possibly the one following.

Ooh. Worse news than I thought on the water. It's off til 8am.

Why are they swtching off water?

The high tide near noon tomorrow? No

noaa

Gosh, who does report the tides here...other than San Pedro Sun?

I shoulda guessed it....thanks Amanda...take care!

So, Amir...11:40 tomorrow, near noon...you are right; and again 11:57 tomorrow night. It might even be hinky later tonight between 10 and 12 depending on the wind direction!
