Where Beacon Rock State Park is
Beacon Rock State Park sits at 45.6203° N, 122.0203° W on the Columbia River, about 1 mi southwest of North Bonneville, WA, in Skamania County. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 2016 until 2016, and NOAA still publishes harmonic predictions from that record. There is no live reading here today. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Vancouver (NOAA 9440083), 32.6 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 191 min later than there. The nearest weather station is Portland, Portland-Troutdale Airport, an airport reporting wind, visibility and sky cover, but no water temperature, 19.4 mi away.
The tide at Beacon Rock State Park
Beacon Rock State Park has a mixed tide: two highs and two lows a day, but of unequal size, so one low each day drains a little lower than the other. This month's predictions average 1.9 high tides a day here. The mean range from lower low to higher high is 1.7 ft, and 1.0 ft between the average high and the average low, a small tide. On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 0.4 ft and the lower low sits 0.3 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 Beacon Rock State Park about 4.2 hours after the moon passes overhead. That lag is local, which is why high water does not line up with the moon.
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 Beacon Rock State Park from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 1.7 ft above it and mean sea level 0.8 ft. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Astoria, OR gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 9440079, established 2016, gauge removed 2016. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
