About the tides at Port Ludlow

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.3 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The range is large, about 6.3 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. The next spring tides peak tomorrow, with a range of 11.0 ft. Neap tides follow on October 11, when the range shrinks to 5.4 ft.

Port Ludlow is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. 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.
