On 4 October 2023, you will be docking at the Redwood Marine Terminal in Eureka, CA at the first low tide. The berth is located between NOAA reference tidal station #9418767 and subordinate station #9418801. What time (LST) will you be docking? Illustration D062NG
• Use the NOAA tide tables shown for 4 October 2023 at stations 9418767 (North Spit, reference) and 9418801 (Eureka, subordinate) • Identify the first low tide (L) of the day, not the second low tide • Because the berth is between two stations, the low-water time should fall between the two listed low-tide times for those stations
• For each station on 4 October, what is the time of the first low tide shown in the High/Low Tide Prediction Data Listing? • Is Redwood Marine Terminal closer to North Spit or Eureka, and how would that affect whether the low tide time is closer to one station’s time or roughly between the two? • Among the answer choices, which one is a reasonable time that falls between (or closest to) the two stations’ first low tides?
• Confirm you are reading 04 October 2023 and the correct L (low) column, not the high tides or 05 October • Make sure you are working in Local Standard Time (LST) as stated on the tables and in the question • Verify that the time you pick is between or closest to the two stations’ first low-tide times for that date
