About the Tides at Shelton
Shelton 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 14.4 feet.
Over the next two weeks the biggest tides come on Wednesday, November 11, when the water moves about 16.5 feet. The lowest water is -1.6 ft on Wednesday, November 11 at 1:24 AM, and the highest is 14.9 ft on Wednesday, November 11 at 8:27 AM. A minus tide like that uncovers the most beach, flats and tide pools.
