Today on the water at Depoe Bay
Today at Depoe Bay: high tide at 8:27 AM (7.9 ft) and 8:34 PM (6.8 ft), low tide at 1:46 AM (0.9 ft) and 2:43 PM (2.0 ft). The National Weather Service forecast for Wednesday is mostly cloudy then light rain with SSE winds 8 to 17 mph, 56°F. Wind that strong can hold water in or push it out, so the real tide may run above or below these predictions. Sunrise is at 6:57 AM and sunset at 5:02 PM.

Where Depoe Bay is
Depoe Bay sits at 44.8100° N, 124.0580° W on the Pacific Northwest coast, at Depoe Bay, OR, in Lincoln County. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 1952 until 1984, 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), 12.8 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 11 min earlier than there. The nearest weather station is South Beach, OR, a shore station reporting wind and, at most sites, water temperature, 12.8 mi away.
The tide at Depoe Bay
Depoe Bay 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 8.2 ft, and 6.2 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 1.4 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 Depoe Bay about 7.8 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: 12.2 ft on Jan 26, 1983.
- Lowest on record: -3.3 ft on May 24, 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 Depoe Bay from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 8.2 ft above it and mean sea level 4.4 ft. The land survey datum NAVD88, the zero on topographic maps and flood maps, is 0.6 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 South Beach, OR gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 9435827, established 1952, gauge removed 1984. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
