About the tides at Rio Vista

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.0 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. On a typical day the water moves about 3.0 ft between high and low. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 4.1 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 4.6 ft, comes on October 28, and the smallest, 2.9 ft, today. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 4.7 ft on December 23 and bottom out at −0.7 ft on May 21.

Predictions for Rio Vista come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1978 to 1997 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Threemile Slough, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 6 min later. For tidal currents, see Sacramento River Light 14.
