About the tides at Point Helen

Point Helen has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The range is large, about 9.2 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 11.6 ft. The next spring tides peak on Sunday, with a range of 14.4 ft. Neap tides follow on October 16, when the range shrinks to 5.4 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 15.0 ft on November 25, and the lowest is −3.5 ft on July 5.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here in 1996 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Snug Harbor, 7 mi away. For tidal currents, see Snug Harbor.
