About the tides at Taft
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 Crescent City, Pacific Ocean. The average range is about 4.8 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. The next spring tides peak on October 28, with a range of 8.7 ft. Neap tides follow on October 31, when the range shrinks to 3.8 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 8.3 ft on December 24, and the lowest is −1.7 ft on June 6.
Taft is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Crescent City, Pacific Ocean: highs come about 48 min and lows about 73 min later than there. The nearest other station is Kernville, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 36 min later.
Predictions are based on Crescent City, Pacific Ocean.
