Where Hammond, Oregon is
Hammond, Oregon sits at 46.2017° N, 123.9450° W on the Columbia River, at Warrenton, OR. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 1982 until 2014, and NOAA still publishes harmonic predictions from that record. There is no live reading here today. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Cape Disappointment (NOAA 9440581), 7.3 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 12 min later than there. The nearest weather station is Astoria, Astoria Regional Airport, an airport reporting wind, visibility and sky cover, but no water temperature, 4.3 mi away.
The tide at Hammond, Oregon
Hammond, Oregon 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 8.3 ft, and 6.4 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 1.3 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 Hammond, Oregon about 8.8 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: 11.7 ft on Nov 24, 2011.
- Lowest on record: -3.2 ft on Feb 6, 1989.
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 Hammond, Oregon from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 8.4 ft above it and mean sea level 4.4 ft. The land survey datum NAVD88, the zero on topographic maps and flood maps, is 0.1 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 9439011, established 1982, gauge removed 2014. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
