Where Cascade Head, Salmon River is
Cascade Head, Salmon River sits at 45.0479° N, 124.0073° W on the Pacific Northwest coast, about 2 mi north of Lincoln City, OR. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 2013 until 2013, and NOAA still publishes harmonic predictions from that record. There is no live reading here today. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Southbeach (NOAA 9435380), 29.3 mi away, and the tide here runs on nearly the same clock. The nearest weather station is Tillamook, Tillamook Airport, an airport reporting wind, visibility and sky cover, but no water temperature, 27.2 mi away.
The tide at Cascade Head, Salmon River
Cascade Head, Salmon River has a mixed tide: two highs and two lows a day, but of unequal size, so one low each day drains noticeably 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 7.1 ft, and 5.5 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 1.0 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 Cascade Head, Salmon River about 8.0 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 Cascade Head, Salmon River from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 7.1 ft above it and mean sea level 3.6 ft. These datums are controlled from NOAA's South Beach, OR gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 9436381, established 2013, gauge removed 2013. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
