About the tides at Sausalito

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 pattern follows the reference station at SAN FRANCISCO (Golden Gate). The average range is about 4.0 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 5.7 ft. The next spring tides peak on Sunday, with a range of 6.0 ft. Neap tides follow on October 18, when the range shrinks to 1.1 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 7.0 ft on December 24, and the lowest is −1.8 ft on December 24.

Sausalito is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting SAN FRANCISCO (Golden Gate): highs come about 10 min and lows about 14 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1977 to 1979 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Sausalito, Corps of Engineers Dock, 2 mi away. For tidal currents, see Yellow Bluff, 0.8 nmi. NE of.

Predictions are based on SAN FRANCISCO (Golden Gate).
