Where Aberdeen is
Aberdeen sits at 46.9683° N, 123.8530° W on the Pacific Northwest coast, at Hoquiam, WA, in Grays Harbor County. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 1982 until 2005, and NOAA still publishes harmonic predictions from that record. There is no live reading here today. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Westport, Point Chehalis (NOAA 9441102), 12.7 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 26 min later than there. The nearest weather station is Hoquiam, Bowerman Airport, an airport reporting wind, visibility and sky cover, but no water temperature, 3.2 mi away.
The tide at Aberdeen
Aberdeen has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows a day of about the same size, roughly 12 hours 25 minutes apart. This month's predictions average 1.9 high tides a day here. The mean range from lower low to higher high is 10.1 ft, and 7.9 ft between the average high and the average low, a large tide. On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 0.7 ft and the lower low sits 1.5 ft below the other low. For the water around it: Outer-coast tides in Washington and Oregon are mixed semidiurnal, two unequal highs a day with ranges of 6 to 10 ft.
About this station
- High tide reaches Aberdeen about 9.0 hours after the moon passes overhead. That lag is local, which is why high water does not line up with the moon.
- Highest water on record: 13.9 ft on Dec 3, 1982.
- Lowest on record: -3.3 ft on Jul 22, 1982.
Datum and source
Heights on this page are feet above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero NOAA's nautical charts use for soundings. A predicted 0.0 ft low is the average of the lower low each day; a minus tide is water below chart datum, and a 2 ft high means 2 ft more water than the chart shows. NOAA fixes MLLW at Aberdeen from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 10.1 ft above it and mean sea level 5.6 ft. The land survey datum NAVD88, the zero on topographic maps and flood maps, is 1.6 ft above MLLW here, so a water level on this page converts to NAVD88 by subtracting that amount. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Toke Point, WA gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 9441187, established 1982, gauge removed 2005. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.

TidalMapMonthly tide calendar
🌊 Biggest flood tides at Aberdeen this month: Nov 8, Nov 22, Nov 23, Nov 24, Nov 25, Nov 26, Nov 27. These spring highs push water up into the grass and over the oyster rock; prime for poling into flooded marsh for tailing reds.
🔻 Negative (minus) low tides at Aberdeen this month: Nov 1, Nov 7, Nov 8, Nov 9, Nov 10, Nov 11, Nov 12, Nov 22, Nov 23, Nov 24, Nov 25, Nov 26 …. These drain the flats and expose the oyster rock, prime for sight-fishing and clamming.
Best fishing times (solunar)
Major and minor solunar windows for Aberdeen, peak feeding activity is around the moon overhead/underfoot (majors) and moonrise/moonset (minors). Score is the day's activity coefficient (0–100).
