About the tides at Fort Ross

Fort Ross 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 San Francisco, San Francisco Bay. The average range is about 3.8 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. The next spring tides peak on November 22, with a range of 6.7 ft. Neap tides follow on November 19, when the range shrinks to 3.5 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 6.9 ft on December 24, and the lowest is −1.8 ft on December 24.

Fort Ross is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting San Francisco, San Francisco Bay: highs come about 51 min and lows about 30 min earlier than there. The nearest other station is Green Cove, 17 mi away, where high tide comes about 15 min later.

Predictions are based on San Francisco, San Francisco Bay.
