“Is The Tide Turning My Friend?”☺️
Low Tide is always interesting, you get to explore the rocky beaches that are under water most of the day!😇
Silvertop doesn’t purposely plan his hikes to Boulevard Park during Low Tide………..
After finding a parking spot, determining what direction the tide is flowing, is always our first conversation!😊
“See that big rock Silvertop,it’s already wet on the exposed top part, the Tide MUST be going out!”🥰
“Hmmm…… I don’t know Liz, the rock could just be wet from the waves today, I think the Tide is coming back in!”😍
One thing for certain, it was either low tide or close to it!😇
“Chat GPT…… what are the Tide Tables for today?”

“Silvertop….. Puget Sound and the Salish Sea, often get mixed semidiurnal tides, meaning:

  • two highs and two lows per day,
  • but one low is usually much lower than the other,
  • and one high is usually higher than the other.
    Today this is the Tide Table……..

Here’s the clearer picture for Bellingham Bay today:

  • 11:19 AM low tide: about -1.4 ft
    → Very low water. Great tidepooling conditions.
  • 7:30 PM high tide: about 8.6 ft
  • 12:04 AM low tide (overnight): about 6.7”

“So it’s past 11:19 AM Silvertop, so that means the tide is coming back in, I was correct!”🥰
Hmmm………OK😇😍
It really doesn’t matter, High or Low Tide, it’s always nice down at the Ocean, especially with Liz!😊
Happy Saturday everyone, till tomorrow Silvertop Mike 😊
