About the tides at Orwood
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.7 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Port Chicago, Suisun Bay. The average range is about 2.7 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is smaller than most California stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on Tuesday, with a range of 3.7 ft. Neap tides follow on October 19, when the range shrinks to 2.7 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 4.7 ft on July 4, and the lowest is −0.4 ft on January 23.
Orwood is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Port Chicago, Suisun Bay: highs come about 272 min and lows about 273 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1978 to 1979 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Borden Highway Bridge, Old River, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 8 min later. For tidal currents, see Vulcan Island, 0.5 mile east of.
Predictions are based on Port Chicago, Suisun Bay.
