Tides in Clinton
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 12:28 am -2.7 ft
- ▲ High tide 7:44 am 11.5 ft · coef. 88
- ▼ Low tide 1:01 pm 7.1 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 6:04 pm 11.0 ft · coef. 87
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 2 h 17 min to high tide at 6:04 pm.
Tide coefficient 88 for the 7:44 am high tide and 87 for the 6:04 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 14.2 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on January 5 (12.6 ft) and the lowest, on June 15 (-4.3 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
Heights above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero of US nautical charts. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. MLLW
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 28 (coefficient 90, 14.2 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 40, 9.2 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Glendale station (NOAA), 2.7 mi from Clinton. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Seattle reference station with the official corrections.

The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.1 ft
- Significant0.1 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.3 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces east and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

The moon in Clinton
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:52–3:52 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:24–4:24 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:00 am–12:00 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:45–7:45 pm Minor · moonrise · medium activity
According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.

Water depth
Deepens quicklyThe bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 750 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.35 mi.

- 16 ft deep480 ft
- 33 ft deep750 ft
- 66 ft deep1,100 ft
- 164 ft deep0.35 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 9.8 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 750 ft and 66 ft at 1,100 ft from shore.
Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide.
