About the tides at Crescent City

This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. On a typical day the water moves about 5.0 ft between high and low. That is larger than most California stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 6.9 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 8.1 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 2.9 ft, on Saturday.

A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It also reports water temperature, wind and air pressure. It was established in 1933. The nearest other station is Pyramid Point, 14 mi away, where high tide comes about 11 min later.
