Where Pyramid Point, Smith River is
Pyramid Point, Smith River sits at 41.9453° N, 124.2009° W on the California coast, about 2 mi northwest of Smith River, CA, in Del Norte County. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 2012 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 Crescent City (NOAA 9419750), 13.8 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 10 min later than there.
The tide at Pyramid Point, Smith River
Pyramid Point, Smith 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 6.4 ft, and 4.7 ft between the average high and the average low, a large tide. On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 0.6 ft and the lower low sits 1.1 ft below the other low. For the water around it: California tides are mixed semidiurnal, two highs and two lows a day of unequal height, with ranges of 4 to 7 ft.
About this station
- High tide reaches Pyramid Point, Smith River about 7.6 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 Pyramid Point, Smith River from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 6.4 ft above it and mean sea level 3.4 ft. The land survey datum NAVD88, the zero on topographic maps and flood maps, is 0.6 ft below MLLW here, so a water level on this page converts to NAVD88 by adding that amount. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Crescent City, CA gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 9419945, established 2012, 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.
