About the tides at Patton Bay
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.7 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Cordova. The range is large, about 7.8 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time.
Patton Bay is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Cordova: highs come about 12 min and lows about 5 min earlier than there. The nearest other station is Wooded Islands, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 12 min later. For tidal currents, see Wooded Island.
Predictions are based on Cordova.
