About the tides at Wauna
This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. With a mean range of about 5.6 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 6.8 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 8.8 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 4.5 ft, today. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 8.4 ft on December 23 and bottom out at −1.7 ft on August 3.
A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It was established in 1940. The nearest other station is Cape Horn, 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 17 min later. For tidal currents, see Hunting Island, south of.
