7-day fishing planner

Each day’s tides, light and solunar windows. Stars are a simple outlook from moon phase and how well the windows line up with dawn and dusk — a planning aid, not a promise of fish. How we calculate this.

Slack water & tidal currents

Nearest NOAA current prediction station: Humboldt Bay Entrance Channel LB 9 (hb0201, 1.2 km away). Slack water is when the current turns and is weakest; it often lags the high or low tide by minutes to hours, so check the current station rather than the tide.

King tides in the next 12 months

Highest predicted high tides at this station (MHHW here is 6.8 ft). Storms and onshore wind can add to these.

NOAA flood thresholds at this gauge (above MLLW): minor 8.8 ft, moderate 9.7 ft, major 11.0 ft. At least one predicted tide in the next 12 months reaches the minor flood threshold before any storm surge.

Lowest tides (minus tides)

Best low-water days for wading, clamming and finding structure. Values below 0 ft are below the chart datum.
