Question 1

Which NOAA location does TideCue use for Bodega Bay tides?

Accepted Answer

This page uses NOAA prediction location 9415625 at the Bodega Harbor entrance as its named tide-prediction reference.

Question 2

Is NOAA location 9415625 an observed tide station?

Accepted Answer

Current NOAA metadata does not identify 9415625 as an observed station. TideCue treats it as a prediction location and does not claim live sensor observations there.

Question 3

Does NOAA publish accepted station datums for 9415625?

Accepted Answer

The current NOAA datum response for 9415625 has no accepted date or published datum list, so this page does not present station-datum values for the location.

Question 4

Does one Bodega Bay low-tide prediction apply everywhere nearby?

Accepted Answer

No. Use the prediction location as a named reference, then verify the appropriate source, forecast, access information, and conditions for the exact harbor, beach, reef, or inlet you will visit.

Question 5

Is Bodega Bay low tide the same as slack current?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. Tide height and tidal current are different products, and slack-current timing can differ from a predicted high or low.
