About the tides at Cliffs Point

Cliffs Point has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. Water here rises and falls only about 1.3 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.2 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 1.1 ft, on Friday.

Cliffs Point is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Cliffs Wharf, 0.3 mi away. For tidal currents, see Deep Point.
