About the tides at North Fork
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.5 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. With a mean range of about 6.5 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 8.4 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 11.8 ft, comes on October 28, and the smallest, 4.7 ft, on October 31. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 10.4 ft on December 24 and bottom out at −2.5 ft on December 24.
Predictions for North Fork come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here in 2017 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Nehalem, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 6 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Tillamook Bay entrance.
