About the tides at Home
Home 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 SEATTLE (Madison St.), Elliott Bay. The range is large, about 9.3 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. That is larger than most Washington stations on this site. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 14.6 ft. Neap tides follow on October 10, when the range shrinks to 10.0 ft.
Home is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting SEATTLE (Madison St.), Elliott Bay: highs come about 37 min and lows about 45 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here in 1973 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Horsehead Bay, 4 mi away. For tidal currents, see Pitt Passage, NE of Pitt Island.
Predictions are based on SEATTLE (Madison St.), Elliott Bay.
