About the tides at Empire
Empire 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 Charleston. The average range is about 4.7 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 7.7 ft. Neap tides follow on Friday, when the range shrinks to 3.5 ft.
Empire is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Charleston: highs come about 37 min and lows about 50 min later than there. The nearest other station is Sitka Dock, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 30 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Coos Bay entrance.
Predictions are based on Charleston.
