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. 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.
