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 2.6 ft between high and low. That is smaller than most California stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 4.1 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 3.1 ft, on Monday.
Predictions for Rio Vista come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. The nearest other station is Threemile Slough, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 8 min later. For tidal currents, see Sacramento River Light 14.
