About the tides at Bay City

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 Toke Point. With a mean range of about 7.3 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 11.5 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 5.5 ft, on Friday.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Toke Point, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Westport, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 14 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Westport, channel 0.4 mile NE of.

Predictions are based on Toke Point.
