About the tides at Ilwaco

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.5 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Astoria, Tongue Point, Columbia River. The range is large, about 5.8 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 9.8 ft on December 24, and the lowest is −2.1 ft on July 5.

Ilwaco is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Astoria, Tongue Point, Columbia River: highs come about 13 min earlier and lows about 1 min later than there. The nearest other station is Cape Disappointment, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 15 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Baker Bay entrance, E of Sand Island Tower.

Predictions are based on Astoria, Tongue Point, Columbia River.
