About the tides at Bellevue

Bellevue has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The pattern follows the reference station at WASHINGTON, Washington Channel, D.C.. On a typical day the water moves about 2.5 ft between high and low. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 3.2 ft, comes on Saturday, and the smallest, 1.8 ft, on October 19. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 3.7 ft on June 5 and bottom out at −1.0 ft on January 24.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at WASHINGTON, Washington Channel, D.C., with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Alexandria, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 16 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Hains Point.

Predictions are based on WASHINGTON, Washington Channel, D.C..
