Good Morning from Isla San Francisco Baja California

I typically anchor in 10-15' if it's low tide and a meter more or so if it's high tide. The bottoms are very good with generally sand bottoms.

In Florida that would be considered really deep water. We have a saying “Either six feet, or six inches that’s the choice “.

The anchorages are a bit less protected than those in the PACNW. Generally you choose an anchorage that offers protection from the forecast wind direction.

Because of the limited protection the anchorages tend to be more rolly, and you will be anchoring in water that is very shallow to get behind some cover and out of the swell.

I typically anchor in 10-15' if it's low tide and a meter more or so if it's high tide. The bottoms are very good with generally sand bottoms.

It's been a while since we were in that area, but I believe the tide range is maybe a bit over 3' which is very similar to central Florida.
In the Florida Keys the range is about half that and up in NY the range was nearly 3X that range.
