[Tweeters] Help with Billy Frank Jr Nisqually tides

[via Tweeters]

Christina,

 

Use the Dupont Wharf tide times to get the closest numbers.  This week it seems like the best shorebird viewing was about 1.5 to 2.5 hours before or after high tide.  Falling tide seems a little better.

 

The flats are fairly “high” up so the tide goes out very fast.

you can check tide tables online...  this might not be closest, but should give you a rough idea...

Hello fellow birders, I want to go to Nisqually this weekend and am looking at the tides to try to time my visit. First when looking up the tides does anyone know the proper name to use and B does anyone know approximately how long it takes for the tide to come in or go out? Timing is important for shorebirds as you know Thanks so much Christina from Tacoma
