About the tides at El Capitan Passage, Dry Pass

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 range is large, about 9.5 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 on October 27, with a range of 16.8 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 4.2 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 14.9 ft on December 24, and the lowest is −3.3 ft on July 5.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 1957 to 2012 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Shakan Strait, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 8 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Dry Pass.
