About the tides at Union

Union has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. With a mean range of about 7.9 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 11.9 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 12.3 ft, comes on Tuesday, and the smallest, 6.9 ft, on Sunday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 14.2 ft on December 25 and bottom out at −4.2 ft on July 4.

Predictions for Union 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 1973 to 1978 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Walkers Landing, 10 mi away, where high tide comes about 55 min later. For tidal currents, see Hammersley Inlet, west of Skookum Point.
