About the tides at Smith Island

Smith Island has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The pattern follows the reference station at Port Townsend, Admiralty Inlet. The average range is about 4.7 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is smaller than most Washington stations on this site. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 8.8 ft. Neap tides follow on November 19, when the range shrinks to 4.8 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 8.3 ft on December 26, and the lowest is −3.0 ft on July 4.

Smith Island is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Port Townsend, Admiralty Inlet: highs come about 13 min and lows about 25 min earlier than there. The nearest other station is Sunset Beach, 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 14 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Smith Island, 1.4 miles Ssw of.

Predictions are based on Port Townsend, Admiralty Inlet.
