About the tides at Portland

Most days here have a single high and a single low. Around neap tides the pattern can blur into small double tides. The mean range is small, about 0.6 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most Texas stations on this site. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 0.7 ft. Neap tides follow on October 22, when the range shrinks to 0.1 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 0.9 ft on December 24, and the lowest is −0.4 ft on December 24.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 2019 to 2020 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is La Qunita Channel North, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 17 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Enbridge.
