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. 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 October 10, and the smallest, 2.3 ft, on Monday.

Bellevue is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Alexandria, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 16 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Hains Point.
