About the tides at Astoria (Tongue Point)

This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. With a mean range of about 6.8 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 8.6 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 9.8 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 4.2 ft, on Friday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 10.6 ft on December 24 and bottom out at −2.1 ft on July 5.

A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It also reports water temperature and wind. It was established in 1853. The nearest other station is Astoria (Youngs Bay), 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 13 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Tongue Point, northwest of.
