About the tides at Telegraph Bay
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.0 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. On a typical day the water moves about 3.9 ft between high and low. That is smaller than most Washington stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 6.2 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 8.5 ft, comes on October 29, and the smallest, 1.0 ft, on October 28. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 7.6 ft on December 23 and bottom out at −2.8 ft on July 4.
Predictions for Telegraph Bay come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1974 to 2016 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Aleck Bay, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 13 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Point Colville, 1.4 nm east of.
