Most days bring two high tides and two low tides — when the water rises and recedes across the sand. Knowing when they occur helps you stay safe and make the most of your visit. Plan around low tide for activities like tide pooling, beachcombing or clam digging, and avoid getting caught near rocks or headlands as the tide comes in. Tidal swings vary throughout the month and year, sometimes changing the shoreline dramatically. You can find local tide charts online or printed, pocket-sized charts at many hotels and shops around town. These charts list the day’s high and low tides, their times, and the height difference between them. Remember: wind, storms and wave action can all affect conditions. Always keep an eye on the ocean — and never turn your back on it. DID YOU KNOW? You can search for purple varnish clams in Siletz Bay at low tide.
