About the tides at Dofflemeyer Point
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. Dofflemeyer Point sees a mean range of about 10.1 ft. Low tide can expose a wide area, and the return is fast. That is larger than most Washington stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 15.7 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 12.1 ft, on October 9.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at SEATTLE (Madison St.), Elliott Bay, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Budd Inlet, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 8 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Budd Inlet Entrance.
Predictions are based on SEATTLE (Madison St.), Elliott Bay.
