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. Water here rises and falls only about 2.0 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.7 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 2.1 ft, on October 7.

Predictions for Willcox Wharf come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. The nearest other station is Sturgeon Point, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 47 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Windmill Point.
