The high tide point isn't the same every day, but the public beach line is. On a typical day there's a decent amount of public beach left even at high tide.

- cbordeleau 13y agoMy understanding of mean high tide in California is the law does not specify a time frame for the mean. So how do you actually know where the MHTL is?
- nobodysfool 13y agoGenerally there's debris left from the high tide - seaweed and what not. It's usually pretty easy to tell.
- cbordeleau 13y agoYes but that would be the mean high tide of perhaps the last week. If a stormed rolled in, by your logic, the whole beach could be public property. Some states define the mean high tide as the mean over a 18.6-year period or Tidal Epoch. To my knowledge, California makes no such distinction.
