About the tides at Bechers Bay

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. On a typical day the water moves about 3.5 ft between high and low. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 5.8 ft, comes on October 11, and the smallest, 1.7 ft, on Sunday.

Bechers Bay is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Cuyler Harbor, 18 mi away, where high tide comes about 6 min later.
