About the tides at Sausalito, Corps of Engineers Dock
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, San Francisco Bay. 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 tomorrow, 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 7.1 ft on December 24, and the lowest is −1.8 ft on December 24.
Sausalito, Corps of Engineers Dock is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting San Francisco, San Francisco Bay: highs come about 10 min and lows about 21 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1978 to 1979 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Sausalito, 2 mi away. For tidal currents, see Raccoon Strait, off Point Stuart.
Predictions are based on San Francisco, San Francisco Bay.
