About the tides at Mystery Bay

Mystery Bay 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 Port Townsend, Admiralty Inlet. The range is large, about 5.2 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. That is smaller than most Washington stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on Wednesday, with a range of 8.8 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 3.4 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 9.5 ft on December 26, and the lowest is −3.6 ft on July 4.

Mystery Bay is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Port Townsend, Admiralty Inlet: highs come about 15 min and lows about 52 min later than there. The nearest other station is Marrowstone Point, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 13 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Nodule Point, 0.5 mi. SE of.

Predictions are based on Port Townsend, Admiralty Inlet.
