Bodega Bay Low Tide And Tide-Chart Planning
Use NOAA prediction location 9415625 at the Bodega Harbor entrance as a named local reference. It is not identified in current NOAA metadata as an observed station and has no published accepted datum, so keep the prediction separate from observations and the exact TideCue saved-spot coordinates.
- NOAA prediction reference
- Bodega Harbor entrance prediction location 9415625.
- Prediction coordinates
- 38.3083, -123.055 in the current NOAA location metadata.
- Saved-spot coordinates
- 38.3195, -123.0481 for TideCue's Bodega Bay spot; keep these separate from the NOAA prediction location.
- Product boundary
- Current NOAA metadata does not identify 9415625 as an observed station or publish an accepted station datum.
- Safety boundary
- A tide prediction does not replace active marine forecasts, surf warnings, closures, or local safe-access checks.

Use Bodega Harbor Entrance 9415625 As A Prediction Reference
NOAA identifies 9415625 as Bodega Harbor entrance at 38.3083, -123.055. Use that identifier when opening the official tide-prediction interface, and confirm the selected date and time-zone display before comparing an event with another table.
For a nearby observed-station reference with published datums, compare the nearby Point Reyes tide table.
Treat This As A Prediction Location
Current NOAA metadata for 9415625 does not identify it as an observed station, and its datum response has no accepted date or published datum list. TideCue therefore presents the location as a prediction reference and does not describe it as an active sensor, live observation station, or accepted-datum source.
Keep The Two Coordinate References Distinct
The NOAA prediction location and TideCue's saved Bodega Bay spot are close but not identical. A named prediction should not be treated as an exact reading for every harbor edge, beach, reef, inlet, or access point. Match the source and current conditions to the precise water you plan to visit.
Read Low Tide As A Predicted Event, Not A Safety Promise
A predicted low gives a time and height under the selected table settings. It does not establish surf safety, navigable depth, shoreline access, current speed, or the timing of slack water. Check active marine forecasts, warnings, closures, and on-site conditions before making a timing-sensitive decision.
Keep Water Level And Tidal Current Separate
Water-level predictions describe vertical rise and fall. Tidal-current predictions describe horizontal movement, and the timing of slack or strongest flow does not necessarily match the listed high or low. Use the official product that answers the actual planning question.
Build A Conservative Bodega Bay Plan
Use the next predicted event as one input, then compare daylight, wind, marine conditions, safe access, and the exact saved water. TideCue keeps the prediction attached to its source without freezing a changing value or turning it into navigation, access, or fishing-outcome advice.
For the interpretation step, use TideCue's guide to how to read tide chart signals.
Common questions
Which NOAA location does TideCue use for Bodega Bay tides?
This page uses NOAA prediction location 9415625 at the Bodega Harbor entrance as its named tide-prediction reference.
Is NOAA location 9415625 an observed tide station?
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.
Does NOAA publish accepted station datums for 9415625?
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.
Does one Bodega Bay low-tide prediction apply everywhere nearby?
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.
Is Bodega Bay low tide the same as slack current?
Not necessarily. Tide height and tidal current are different products, and slack-current timing can differ from a predicted high or low.
