About the tides at Smith Slough

Smith Slough has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. With a mean range of about 6.1 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. That is larger than most California stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 8.7 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 5.2 ft, tomorrow.

Smith Slough is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Redwood City, 0.7 mi away, where high tide comes about 26 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Redwood Creek.
