About the tides at La Conner
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 2.1 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Seattle, Puget Sound. With a mean range of about 6.7 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 10.4 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 12.2 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 3.2 ft, tomorrow. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 11.8 ft on January 25 and bottom out at −3.7 ft on December 24.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Seattle, Puget Sound, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here from 1935 to 1973 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Sneeoosh Point, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 10 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Skagit Bay channel, SW of Hope Island.
Predictions are based on Seattle, Puget Sound.
