What the tides are like at Port Angeles
Port Angeles has two high tides and two low tides most days — a mixed tide pattern, cycling at uneven intervals. In other words, the two highs (and two lows) each day are often noticeably unequal — a higher high and a lower high. The tidal range here is large, especially in Puget Sound where the range can reach 10 to 15 feet. For the exact heights and times today, read them straight off the live chart above — it's drawn from NOAA's harmonic prediction for this station.
About this station
NOAA station 9444090 (Port Angeles) sits at 48.13, -123.44 on the Pacific Northwest coast. Predictions on this page come straight from NOAA's harmonic model for this station — heights in feet above MLLW, times in the station's local time. Conditions a few miles along the shore can differ, so pick the station nearest where you'll actually be.

How many tides a day does Port Angeles, WA get?
Port Angeles typically gets two high tides and two low tides each day — a mixed pattern. Exact times for today are on the live chart above.
What is the tidal range at Port Angeles, WA?
The range between low and high water at Port Angeles is large, especially in Puget Sound where the range can reach 10 to 15 feet. The chart above shows the exact predicted heights for the days you pick, straight from NOAA station 9444090.
Where does the tide data come from?
Straight from NOAA CO-OPS, the official U.S. source for tide predictions — for Port Angeles, WA it uses the NOAA station listed above. Heights are in feet above MLLW (mean lower low water, the standard chart datum) and times are shown in the station's own local time.
How far ahead can I see the tides?
Tide predictions are computed from astronomy (the positions of the moon and sun), so they're available about a year ahead. Use the date-range finder to list every high tide between any two dates — for general reference and low-risk scheduling only. Before any marine or shoreline activity, confirm conditions with official local forecasts, alerts, harbor guidance, and NOAA.
What is a king tide?
An informal name for the highest tides of the year, which happen when a new or full moon lines up with the moon's closest approach to Earth. In the finder, the top 10% highest tides in your range are marked with a crown — periods with some of the highest predicted astronomical tides of the year.
What actually makes the tide bigger or smaller?
The engine is gravity: the moon and sun pull the ocean into bulges. When they line up at a new or full moon you get the biggest swings (spring tides); at quarter moons their pulls partly cancel (neap tides), and the moon's closest approach (perigee) super-sizes things further — that's a king tide. River flow, the shape of the bay, and long-term sea-level cycles can also affect the actual water level, which is why real conditions can differ from the astronomical prediction shown here.
What are the highest tides in the world — and in the U.S.?
The world's largest tides are in Canada's Bay of Fundy, where the range between low and high can top 50 feet (it's outside NOAA's network, so it isn't listed here). In the U.S., the giants are Alaska's Cook Inlet — Anchorage sees swings around 26–30 feet — along with Southeast Alaska ports like Skagway, and on the East Coast, Eastport, Maine at roughly 18 feet. All of those have dedicated pages here.
