About the tides at Crescent Harbor

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. The pattern follows the reference station at SEATTLE (Madison St.), Elliott Bay. The range is large, about 8.0 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 11.7 ft. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 12.8 ft. Neap tides follow on October 11, when the range shrinks to 7.0 ft.

Crescent Harbor is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting SEATTLE (Madison St.), Elliott Bay: highs come about 4 min later and lows about 4 min earlier than there. NOAA measured the tide here in 1977 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Nas Whidbey Island, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 3 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Skagit Bay, 1 mi. north of Rocky Point.

Predictions are based on SEATTLE (Madison St.), Elliott Bay.
