About the tides at McMicken Island

McMicken Island has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The pattern follows the reference station at SEATTLE (Madison St.), Elliott Bay. With a mean range of about 10.0 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. That is larger than most Washington stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 13.9 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 15.2 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 11.7 ft, on October 9.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at SEATTLE (Madison St.), Elliott Bay, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here in 1978 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Walkers Landing, 4 mi away. For tidal currents, see Case Inlet, 1 mile SE of McMicken Island.

Predictions are based on SEATTLE (Madison St.), Elliott Bay.
