Where Sneeoosh Point is
Sneeoosh Point sits at 48.4000° N, 122.5480° W on Puget Sound and the Salish Sea, about 2 mi west of La Conner, WA. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 2000 until 2000, and NOAA still publishes harmonic predictions from that record. There is no live reading here today. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Port Townsend (NOAA 9444900), 22.2 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 60 min later than there. The nearest weather station is Padilla Bay Farm, Padilla Bay Reserve, WA, a shore station reporting wind and, at most sites, water temperature, 5.7 mi away.
The tide at Sneeoosh Point
Sneeoosh Point 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 11.1 ft, and 7.6 ft between the average high and the average low, a large tide. On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 0.9 ft and the lower low sits 2.6 ft below the other low. For the water around it: Puget Sound tides are mixed semidiurnal with a strong daily inequality: two highs and two lows a day, ranges of 8 to 14 ft, and lows that differ by several feet.
About this station
- High tide reaches Sneeoosh Point about 0.9 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 Sneeoosh Point from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 11.1 ft above it and mean sea level 6.4 ft. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Friday Harbor, WA gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 9448576, established 2000, gauge removed 2000. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
