About the tides at Benicia
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.2 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Port Chicago, Suisun Bay. The average range is about 3.9 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 5.3 ft. The next spring tides peak on November 22, with a range of 5.9 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 2.0 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 6.7 ft on July 4, and the lowest is −0.7 ft on December 25.
Benicia is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Port Chicago, Suisun Bay: highs come about 24 min and lows about 33 min earlier than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1976 to 1989 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Martinez-Amorco Pier, 0.7 mi away. For tidal currents, see Army Pt. Pier Lt. 0.2 nmi. SE of.
Predictions are based on Port Chicago, Suisun Bay.
