About the tides at Cathcart Landing
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.5 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The range is large, about 7.0 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. That is larger than most Oregon stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 8.8 ft. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 10.6 ft. Neap tides follow on Friday, when the range shrinks to 5.9 ft.
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 in 2013 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Astoria (Youngs Bay), 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 9 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Youngs Bay Bridge.
