About the Tides at Seattle
Seattle 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 11.3 feet.
Over the next two weeks the biggest tides come on Tuesday, November 10, when the water moves about 13.4 feet. The lowest water is -1.7 ft on Tuesday, November 10 at 11:19 PM, and the highest is 11.8 ft on Wednesday, November 11 at 7:01 AM. A minus tide like that uncovers the most beach, flats and tide pools.
NOAA station 9447130 here measures the water live. Minor flooding starts when the water reaches 13.5 ft.
