About the tides at Tatoosh Island
Tatoosh Island has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The pattern follows the reference station at Neah Bay, Strait of Juan de Fuca. The range is large, about 5.3 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. The next spring tides peak on October 28, with a range of 11.4 ft. Neap tides follow on October 31, when the range shrinks to 3.6 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 10.4 ft on December 24, and the lowest is −2.8 ft on July 4.
Tatoosh Island is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Neah Bay, Strait of Juan de Fuca: highs come about 8 min and lows about 10 min earlier than there. The nearest other station is Neah Bay, 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 8 min later. For tidal currents, see Strait of Juan de Fuca Entrance.
Predictions are based on Neah Bay, Strait of Juan de Fuca.
