About the tides at Nehalem
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 Crescent City. The range is large, about 5.4 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 8.2 ft. Neap tides follow tomorrow, when the range shrinks to 5.2 ft.
Nehalem is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Crescent City: highs come about 77 min and lows about 116 min later than there. The nearest other station is North Fork, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 8 min later. For tidal currents, see Tillamook Bay entrance.
Predictions are based on Crescent City.
