Port Angeles Tides And NOAA Station 9444090
Use NOAA CO-OPS station 9444090 as the Port Angeles tide-table reference. Read each predicted time with its height and datum, keep tide and tidal-current products distinct, and check current observations, forecasts, alerts, access, and the exact water you plan to fish before leaving.
- Official station reference
- NOAA CO-OPS station 9444090 at Port Angeles, Washington.
- What the table provides
- Predicted high and low times and heights for the selected date, time zone, and vertical datum.
- Available station context
- NOAA lists tide predictions, water levels, meteorological data, and datums for station 9444090.
- What to verify separately
- Tidal-current timing, active marine forecasts, alerts, access, and conditions at the exact saved water.
- Safety boundary
- A prediction table does not replace active warnings, observations, local notices, or an on-site access check.

Start With NOAA Port Angeles Station 9444090
NOAA CO-OPS identifies station 9444090 at Port Angeles and provides tide predictions, water levels, meteorological data, and station datums for that location. Confirm the station identifier, date, time zone, and datum before comparing a Port Angeles tide table with another source.
For the fishing application of that station reference, open Port Angeles fishing conditions.
Read The Predicted Time, Height, And Datum Together
A high or low entry has more meaning when its predicted event time and height are read together. NOAA station datums include references such as mean lower low water and mean higher high water, so a height without its datum can be misleading. TideCue treats the table as a planning input, not a bite guarantee.
Do Not Substitute Tide Height For Tidal Current
Tides describe the rise and fall of water level, while tidal currents describe horizontal water movement. Their turns do not necessarily occur at the same time. Around the Strait of Juan de Fuca, use the appropriate official current prediction when current direction or slack timing matters to the trip.
Turn The Table Into A Saved-Spot Window
Compare the next water-level change with wind, marine conditions, daylight, access, and the structure or species you plan to fish. Harbor edges, open Strait water, current seams, beaches, and protected shorelines can respond differently even when they share the same station reference.
Use TideCue tide-chart guidanceto keep that interpretation consistent.
Keep Predictions Separate From Live Conditions
A tide table is a prediction product. Wind, waves, atmospheric pressure, and other conditions can affect observed water levels and safe access. Recheck current station observations, the current marine forecast, alerts, and local conditions close to departure. If a safety signal conflicts with the planned window, the safety signal wins.
Use The Wider Strait And Sound Context
Port Angeles sits on the Strait of Juan de Fuca, so a single station should not be treated as an exact answer for every harbor, beach, current lane, or Puget Sound destination. Confirm the nearest appropriate official product for the water you will visit.
For broader regional planning, compare the Puget Sound fishing guide.
Common questions
Which tide station does this Port Angeles page use?
This page uses NOAA CO-OPS station 9444090 at Port Angeles, Washington. Confirm the nearest appropriate official station when your exact destination is elsewhere in the Strait or Puget Sound.
What does a Port Angeles tide table show?
It shows predicted high and low event times and heights for a selected date, time zone, and datum. It does not by itself show every live marine or access condition.
Is tide the same as tidal current at Port Angeles?
No. Tide is the vertical rise and fall of water; tidal current is horizontal movement. Use the appropriate official current product when direction or slack-current timing matters.
Can wind change the observed water level?
Yes. NOAA notes that weather can make observed water levels differ from predictions. Check current observations and forecasts close to departure.
Is high tide or low tide better for Port Angeles fishing?
Neither is always better. The useful window depends on water movement, structure, species, wind, marine conditions, daylight, access, and the exact saved spot.
When should I check Port Angeles conditions again?
Recheck predictions, observations, forecasts, alerts, and access shortly before the trip because live conditions can change after the static guide is indexed.
