About the tides at Ludlam Bay

Ludlam Bay has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The average range is about 3.8 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. The next spring tides peak on October 10, with a range of 4.9 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 4.0 ft.

Ludlam Bay is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Townsend Sound, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 12 min later. For tidal currents, see Corson's Inlet Entrance.
