About the tides at Pittsburg
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 Port Chicago, Suisun Bay. The average range is about 3.1 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 4.3 ft. The next spring tides peak tomorrow, with a range of 4.0 ft. Neap tides follow on Tuesday, when the range shrinks to 2.7 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 5.1 ft on July 4, and the lowest is −0.5 ft on December 25.
Pittsburg is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Port Chicago, Suisun Bay: highs come about 59 min and lows about 65 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here in 1979 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Mallard Island Ferry Wharf, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 22 min earlier. For tidal currents, see New York Slough, 0.6miles E of Pt. Emmet.
Predictions are based on Port Chicago, Suisun Bay.
