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 2.2 ft between high and low. That is smaller than most California stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 3.9 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 2.1 ft, on Sunday.

Predictions for Wards Island come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. The nearest other station is Prisoners Point, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 10 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Vulcan Island, 0.5 mile east of.
