About the tides at Saint Helens
This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The average range is about 2.5 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is smaller than most Oregon stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 3.2 ft. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 3.1 ft. Neap tides follow on November 17, when the range shrinks to 1.6 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 4.0 ft on December 23, and the lowest is −0.7 ft on September 1.
St. Helens, Columbia River is a NOAA water level station with a live gauge, updated every 6 minutes. Predictions come from the station's own tide records. It was established in 1877. The nearest other station is Multnomah Channel, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 7 min later.
