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 tomorrow, with a range of 8.6 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 2.3 ft.

Port Angeles 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, where high tide comes about 13 min later. For tidal currents, see Port Angeles.

Tide predictions and water levels from NOAA CO-OPS. For planning only, not for navigation. Real water levels can differ because of wind, air pressure and river flow. Always check conditions on site.
