About the tides at Elk River Railroad Bridge

Elk River Railroad Bridge has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The pattern follows the reference station at HUMBOLDT BAY (North Spit). On a typical day the water moves about 4.0 ft between high and low. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 5.5 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 4.3 ft, tomorrow.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at HUMBOLDT BAY (North Spit), with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Humboldt Bay (North Spit), 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 19 min earlier. For tidal currents, see North Bay Channel, Chevron Pier.

Predictions are based on HUMBOLDT BAY (North Spit).
