The predictions given in the monthly tables are for the OSU Hatfield Marine Science Center Dock in South Beach, Yaquina Bay. Tides for locations north of South Beach generally occur later (add time) and tides for locations south of South Beach generally occur earlier (subtract) than the tides given in the tables. Corrections for tidal heights are now given in ratios.
The times of high/low water up river or up bay occur later than the times at the harbor entrance.

Adjustments
To estimate the high tide for a particular location, add the high
minutes to the South Beach predicted high time from the monthly
table. If the time is negative, subtract the indicated number of
minutes. To estimate the low tide for a particular location, add the
low minutes to the South Beach low time. To find the estimated tidal
height, multiply the South Beach predicted high height by the
indicated high ratio and the South Beach low height by the indicated
low ratio.
Example
The find the estimated high tide at Taft, add 7 minutes to the South Beach time
and multiply the predicted high tide height by the ratio of 0.76. To find the
estimated low tide at Taft, add 39 minutes to the South Beach time and multiply
the predicted low tide by the ratio of 0.68.
Tide Tables are predictions and are least accurate during storms and extreme high and low tide periods.
