About the tides at Neah Bay

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.4 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. With a mean range of about 5.5 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 8.0 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 9.1 ft, comes on Monday, and the smallest, 1.8 ft, on October 17. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 10.3 ft on December 24 and bottom out at −2.8 ft on July 4.

A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It also reports water temperature and air pressure. It was established in 1934. The nearest other station is Makah Bay, 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 11 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Strait of Juan de Fuca Entrance.
