About the tides at Sturgeon Point
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.4 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. Water here rises and falls only about 2.0 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.7 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 2.0 ft, on Monday.
Sturgeon Point is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Willcox Wharf, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 47 min later. For tidal currents, see Brandon Point, 0.3 mile northeast of.
