About the tides at Whittier

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.7 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The range is large, about 9.8 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 12.2 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 17.2 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 6.7 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 15.6 ft on November 25, and the lowest is −3.8 ft on July 5.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 1978 to 2008 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Blackstone Bay, 5 mi away.
