About the tides at Bishop Cut

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.8 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 2.8 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is smaller than most California stations on this site. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 4.8 ft on July 4, and the lowest is −0.4 ft on December 26.

Bishop Cut is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Port Chicago, Suisun Bay: highs come about 252 min and lows about 252 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here in 1979 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Blackslough Landing, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 24 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Vulcan Island, 0.5 mile east of.

Predictions are based on Port Chicago, Suisun Bay.
