About the tides at Lockheed Shipyard
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 Seattle, Puget Sound. The range is large, about 7.7 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 11.4 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 28, with a range of 14.8 ft. Neap tides follow on October 27, when the range shrinks to 5.3 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 13.1 ft on January 25, and the lowest is −3.9 ft on December 24.
Lockheed Shipyard is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Seattle, Puget Sound: highs come about 1 min and lows about 1 min earlier than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1975 to 1981 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Seattle (Madison St.), 2 mi away. For tidal currents, see Harbor Island West.
Predictions are based on Seattle, Puget Sound.
