About the tides at Wingo
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.0 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at SAN FRANCISCO (Golden Gate). The average range is about 4.5 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 5.9 ft. The next spring tides peak tomorrow, with a range of 6.9 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 4.1 ft.
Wingo is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting SAN FRANCISCO (Golden Gate): highs come about 132 min and lows about 191 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1979 to 1985 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Sonoma Creek, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 52 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Petaluma River entrance.
Predictions are based on SAN FRANCISCO (Golden Gate).
