About the tides at Blackslough Landing
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.0 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The average range is about 2.7 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is smaller than most California stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 3.6 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 28, with a range of 4.8 ft. Neap tides follow tomorrow, when the range shrinks to 2.3 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 4.8 ft on December 23, and the lowest is −0.7 ft on November 26.
This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 1977 to 2015 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Bishop Cut, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 24 min later. For tidal currents, see Vulcan Island, 0.5 mile east of.
