About the tides at Nahcotta
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 Toke Point, Willapa Bay. With a mean range of about 8.3 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 10.5 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 13.5 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 6.0 ft, on October 31. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 12.7 ft on December 24 and bottom out at −2.9 ft on July 5.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Toke Point, Willapa Bay, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here from 1933 to 1982 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Paradise Point, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 14 min later.
Predictions are based on Toke Point, Willapa Bay.
