About the tides at Samoa

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.2 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The range is large, about 5.4 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. That is larger than most California stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 7.4 ft. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 8.4 ft. Neap tides follow on Saturday, when the range shrinks to 3.1 ft.

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 1978 to 2011 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Eureka, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 16 min later. For tidal currents, see North Bay Channel at Samoa Channel.
