About the tides at Florence USCG Pier
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 5.5 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 7.4 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 9.9 ft, comes on October 28, and the smallest, 3.1 ft, on November 2. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 9.4 ft on December 24 and bottom out at −2.4 ft on July 5.
Predictions for Florence USCG Pier come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here in 2013 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Siuslaw River Entrance, 1 mi away. For tidal currents, see Heceta Head.
