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, Puget Sound. 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 on October 29, with a range of 17.4 ft. Neap tides follow on Monday, when the range shrinks to 7.9 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 15.6 ft on January 25, and the lowest is −4.1 ft on December 24.

Home is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Seattle, Puget Sound: 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, Puget Sound.
