About the tides at Port Chicago
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.0 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The average range is about 3.5 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. The next spring tides peak tomorrow, with a range of 5.1 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 3.9 ft.
This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. The nearest other station is Point Buckler, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 13 min later. For tidal currents, see Seal Island, south of.
