About the tides at Kernville
This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The pattern follows the reference station at Crescent City. The average range is about 4.5 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 6.8 ft. Neap tides follow tomorrow, when the range shrinks to 4.2 ft.
Kernville is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Crescent City: highs come about 84 min and lows about 113 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1934 to 1979 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Chinook Bend, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 31 min later.
Predictions are based on Crescent City.
