What is the window around high-tide that I can target for safely crossing to Long Island and/or going up the Naselle River?
Large areas of Willapa Bay are tideflats, so it is important to consult a tidebook for trip planning. Tides in the south half of the Bay, around Long Island, are approximately one hour later than for coastal beaches. Tidebooks calibrated for Tongue Point, Oregon (near Astoria) are very close to tides in the Bay. The paddling window varies somewhat depending on the height of tide. During low neap tides (a tide of minimum range occurring at the first and the third quarters of the moon), only three hours of high water can be expected. During high spring tides, there will be a 4-5 hour window. In the winter the highest tides tend to be mid-day, while in the summer the highest tides will be around mid-night. Be sure to secure boats so that they do not drift away during the night.
