About the tides at James Island

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.2 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Toke Point. The range is large, about 6.0 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 9.6 ft. Neap tides follow on Friday, when the range shrinks to 4.5 ft.

James Island is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Toke Point: highs come about 39 min and lows about 32 min earlier than there. The nearest other station is La Push, 0.7 mi away. For tidal currents, see Quillayute River entrance.

Predictions are based on Toke Point.
