About the tides at Willcox Wharf

Willcox Wharf has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. On a typical day the water moves about 2.1 ft between high and low. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.5 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 3.1 ft on December 24 and bottom out at −0.2 ft on August 5.

Predictions for Willcox Wharf 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 1971 to 2010 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Sturgeon Point, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 45 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Windmill Point.
