About the tides at Tacoma

Tacoma 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 8.1 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 11.8 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 13.9 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 4.1 ft, on Thursday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 13.4 ft on January 25 and bottom out at −4.1 ft on December 24.

A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It also reports water temperature and air pressure. It was established in 1996. The nearest other station is Tahlequah, 6 mi away. For tidal currents, see Browns Point, 1.6 miles North of.
