About the tides at Threemile Slough entrance
Threemile Slough entrance has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The average range is about 2.4 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is smaller than most California stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 3.4 ft. The next spring tides peak tomorrow, with a range of 3.5 ft. Neap tides follow on October 20, when the range shrinks to 1.8 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 4.6 ft on December 23, and the lowest is −0.6 ft on November 25.
This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 1978 to 1992 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Threemile Slough, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 47 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Sacramento River Light 14.
