About Bellingham tides
Bellingham is a NOAA subordinate station (9449211): NOAA predicts its times and heights from Port Townsend (9444900) with offsets for this spot, so treat them as a close guide rather than an exact prediction. Heights are in feet above MLLW (Mean Lower Low Water), the datum of US nautical charts, so they line up with charted depths.
In the next 30 days, Bellingham has two highs and two lows on 22 days, one high and one low on 4 days and three turns on 4 days, and the daily range runs from 2.3 to 12.8 ft. That is a mixed tide: some days bring two highs and two lows of clearly different heights, others only one of each.
Use the curve above to time a harbor entrance, a beach walk, fishing a moving tide or clearing a shallow bar, and remember that wind, air pressure and river flow can push the real water level above or below the prediction. The daily tidal range in the tables shows how much water moves each day: bigger ranges around the new and full moon mean stronger currents.

How accurate are these tide predictions?+
