About the tides at Whittier

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 Sunday, with a range of 15.0 ft. Neap tides follow on October 16, when the range shrinks to 5.8 ft.
