About the tides at Admiralty Head
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.1 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Port Townsend. The range is large, about 5.5 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. The next spring tides peak tomorrow, with a range of 9.7 ft. Neap tides follow on October 12, when the range shrinks to 3.0 ft.
Admiralty Head is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Port Townsend: highs come about 11 min earlier and lows about 20 min later than there. The nearest other station is Coupeville, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 56 min later. For tidal currents, see Point Wilson, 2.7 mi. NE of.
Predictions are based on Port Townsend.
