About the tides at Barlow Point
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.2 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The average range is about 4.1 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is smaller than most Washington stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 5.1 ft. The next spring tides peak tomorrow, with a range of 5.9 ft. Neap tides follow on October 20, when the range shrinks to 3.5 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 6.2 ft on November 25, and the lowest is −1.3 ft on December 24.
This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here in 2016 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Longview, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 21 min later. For tidal currents, see Walker Island, south of.
