About the tides at Admiralty Head
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.5 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Port Townsend, Admiralty Inlet. The range is large, about 5.7 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. The next spring tides peak on October 29, with a range of 11.9 ft. Neap tides follow on October 28, when the range shrinks to 2.3 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 10.0 ft on December 26, and the lowest is −3.7 ft on July 4.
Admiralty Head is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Port Townsend, Admiralty Inlet: 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 57 min later. For tidal currents, see Point Wilson, 2.7 mi. NE of.
Predictions are based on Port Townsend, Admiralty Inlet.
