Where Sekiu, Clallam Bay is
Sekiu, Clallam Bay sits at 48.2633° N, 124.2970° W on the Pacific Northwest coast, at Sekiu, WA. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 1978 until 1978, and NOAA still publishes harmonic predictions from that record. There is no live reading here today. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Neah Bay (NOAA 9443090), 15.8 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 24 min later than there. The nearest weather station is Neah Bay, a tide-station weather package reporting wind and water temperature, 15.8 mi away.
The tide at Sekiu, Clallam Bay
Sekiu, Clallam 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 7.5 ft, and 4.9 ft between the average high and the average low, a large tide. On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 0.8 ft and the lower low sits 1.8 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 Sekiu, Clallam Bay about 8.9 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 Sekiu, Clallam Bay from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 7.5 ft above it and mean sea level 4.2 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 Neah Bay, WA gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 9443361, established 1978, gauge removed 1978. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
