About the tides at Quilcene
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.5 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. With a mean range of about 7.6 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 11.4 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 11.7 ft, comes on Tuesday, and the smallest, 6.8 ft, today. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 13.4 ft on December 26 and bottom out at −3.9 ft on December 24.
Predictions for Quilcene come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here in 1995 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Whitney Point, 3 mi away. For tidal currents, see Bangor, Hood Canal Lb B.
