About the tides at Threemile Slough

Threemile Slough has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The average range is about 2.9 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is smaller than most California stations on this site. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 4.4 ft. Neap tides follow on October 12, when the range shrinks to 2.9 ft.

Threemile Slough is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Threemile Slough entrance, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 46 min later. For tidal currents, see Sacramento River Light 14.
