About the tides at Port of West Sacramento

Port of West Sacramento has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. On a typical day the water moves about 3.4 ft between high and low. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 4.4 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 4.9 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 2.8 ft, on Sunday.

A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It was established in 2024. The nearest other station is Sacramento, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 2 h 2 m later.
