About the tides at Port Angeles

Port Angeles has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The average range is about 4.6 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is smaller than most Washington stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 7.1 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 28, with a range of 10.4 ft. Neap tides follow on October 29, when the range shrinks to 1.7 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 9.2 ft on December 23, and the lowest is −3.4 ft on July 4.

Strait of Juan de Fuca is a NOAA water level station with a live gauge, updated every 6 minutes. Predictions come from the station's own tide records. It also reports water temperature, wind and air pressure. It was established in 1975. The nearest other station is Ediz Hook, 2 mi away. For tidal currents, see Port Angeles.
