About the tides at Port Ludlow
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.8 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Seattle, Puget Sound. The range is large, about 6.2 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. The next spring tides peak on October 29, with a range of 13.3 ft. Neap tides follow on October 27, when the range shrinks to 4.1 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 11.4 ft on January 25, and the lowest is −3.7 ft on December 24.
Port Ludlow is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Seattle, Puget Sound: highs come about 14 min and lows about 14 min earlier than there. The nearest other station is Hansville, 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 7 min later. For tidal currents, see Hood Canal Entrance, Foulweather Bluff.
Predictions are based on Seattle, Puget Sound.
