NOAA has no gauge in the water at this spot; its times and heights are published as offsets from a reference gauge, named below. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Astoria (Tongue Point), Oreg. (NOAA 9439040), 4.3 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 14 min earlier than there. The nearest weather station is Astoria, Astoria Regional Airport, an airport reporting wind, visibility and sky cover, but no water temperature, 2.2 mi away.
The tide at Astoria (Youngs Bay), Oreg.
Astoria (Youngs Bay), Oreg. 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 8.8 ft, and 6.8 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 1.2 ft below the other low. For the water around it: The ocean tide runs far up the Columbia, mixed semidiurnal at about 8 ft near the mouth and shrinking to 2 ft or less at Vancouver, where spring runoff moves the river as much as the moon does.
About this station
- High tide reaches Astoria (Youngs Bay), Oreg. about 8.9 hours after the moon passes overhead. That lag is local, which is why high water does not line up with the moon.
- NOAA predicts tides here from Astoria (Tongue Point), Oreg., station 9439040. High tide comes about 13 min earlier and low tide about 14 min earlier than there.
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 Astoria (Youngs Bay), Oreg. from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 8.8 ft above it and mean sea level 4.7 ft. The land survey datum NAVD88, the zero on topographic maps and flood maps, is 0.2 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 Astoria, OR gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 9439026, established 1931, gauge removed 1981. The tide times and heights are published as time and height offsets from its reference gauge; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
