The tide at Whitney Point, Dabob Bay
Whitney Point, Dabob 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 11.6 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 1.0 ft and the lower low sits 3.0 ft below the other low.

About this station
- High tide reaches Whitney Point, Dabob Bay about 0.3 hours after the moon passes overhead. That lag is local, which is why high water does not line up with the moon.
- NOAA predicts tides here from Seattle (Madison St.), Elliott Bay, station 9447130. High tide comes about 5 min earlier and low tide about 2 min later than there.
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 Whitney Point, Dabob Bay from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 11.6 ft above it and mean sea level 6.8 ft. The land survey datum NAVD88, the zero on topographic maps and flood maps, is 2.7 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 9445246, established 1978, gauge removed 1978. The tide times and heights are published as time and height offsets from its reference gauge; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
