About the tides at Wards Island

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 2.5 ft between high and low. 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. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 3.6 ft, comes tomorrow, and the smallest, 1.8 ft, on October 19. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 4.5 ft on December 23 and bottom out at −0.7 ft on November 26.

Predictions for Wards Island 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 1977 to 2015 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Prisoners Point, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 12 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Vulcan Island, 0.5 mile east of.
