About the tides at El Capitan Passage
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. With a mean range of about 8.9 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 11.2 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 14.2 ft on December 24 and bottom out at −3.2 ft on July 5.
Predictions for El Capitan Passage come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1922 to 2012 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is El Capitan Passage, Dry Pass, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 5 min later. For tidal currents, see The Narrows, west of.
