About the tides at Upright Head

Upright Head has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. On a typical day the water moves about 4.9 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 7.8 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 8.9 ft, comes on Saturday, and the smallest, 2.9 ft, on October 11.

Predictions for Upright Head 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 1947 to 2015 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Shaw Island, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 8 min later. For tidal currents, see East Sound entrance.
