About the tides at Barron 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. The pattern follows the reference station at SEATTLE (Madison St.), Elliott Bay. The tide range here is very large, about 10.5 ft on average. Water can come in faster than you can walk across flats. Check the time before you go out. That is larger than most Washington stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 14.5 ft. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 15.8 ft. Neap tides follow on October 9, when the range shrinks to 12.3 ft.

Barron Point is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting SEATTLE (Madison St.), Elliott Bay: highs come about 50 min and lows about 59 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1988 to 1989 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Arcadia, 4 mi away. For tidal currents, see Libby Point, Hammersley Inlet.

Predictions are based on SEATTLE (Madison St.), Elliott Bay.
