About the tides at Bellingham

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 Port Townsend, Admiralty Inlet. The range is large, about 5.4 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 8.5 ft. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 10.4 ft. Neap tides follow tomorrow, when the range shrinks to 2.3 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 9.9 ft on December 26, and the lowest is −3.4 ft on July 4.

Bellingham is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Port Townsend, Admiralty Inlet: highs come about 43 min and lows about 71 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1973 to 1975 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Gooseberry Point, 8 mi away. For tidal currents, see Eliza Island, 0.5 mile southeast of.

Predictions are based on Port Townsend, Admiralty Inlet.
