About the Tides at Port Townsend
Port Townsend gets two high tides and two low tides most days, and they are not a matched pair. One high or one low each day is clearly bigger than the other. On a typical day the water rises and falls about 8.8 feet.
Over the next two weeks the biggest tides come on Tuesday, November 10, when the water moves about 10.6 feet. The lowest water is -1.5 ft on Tuesday, November 10 at 10:21 PM, and the highest is 9.2 ft on Wednesday, November 11 at 6:57 AM. A minus tide like that uncovers the most beach, flats and tide pools.
NOAA station 9444900 here measures the water live and reports its temperature. Minor flooding starts when the water reaches 11.4 ft.
