Where Tulalip is
Tulalip sits at 48.0650° N, 122.2880° W on Puget Sound and the Salish Sea, about 2 mi southeast of Camano, WA, in Snohomish County. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 1935 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 Port Townsend (NOAA 9444900), 22.0 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 40 min later than there. The nearest weather station is Arlington Municipal Airport, an airport reporting wind, visibility and sky cover, but no water temperature, 8.8 mi away.
The tide at Tulalip
Tulalip 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 7.4 ft between the average high and the average low, a large tide. On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 0.8 ft and the lower low sits 2.8 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 Tulalip about 0.4 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 Tulalip from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 11.1 ft above it and mean sea level 6.5 ft. The land survey datum NAVD88, the zero on topographic maps and flood maps, is 2.0 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 Seattle, WA gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 9447773, established 1935, 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.
