Cannon Beach Tide Table. September 2012
September's salt water tide table schedule is referenced from NOAA's 2012 tidal predictions at the Necanicum River's 12th Avenue Bridge Station in Seaside, Oregon (Units: Feet, Time Zone: LST/LDT). This is the closest official reference station to Arch Cape, Manzanita, Cannon Beach and their surrounding areas.
Things are certainly much quieter now that the summer holidays are over. Seaside cabin rentals have a higher vacancy rate and beach vacation specials are more prevalent.
Like the beach vacationers this month, your high and low tides are less abundant. The dates to look for on the ocean tides table below are from Monday the 17th thru Friday the 21st. The highest tides, which tend to cover most of the beach, occur mid-afternoon from the 17th thru the 20th. The lowest tides are in the later PM hours - from the 17th thru Friday the 21st - and should offer great opportunities for Cannon Beach photography. The full moon this month is on September 30th - Sunday - at 3:19am! As always, check out the inspiring photos from Flickr's Cannonbeachlive photograpy group - & see some great ideas for those full moon shots!

Whatever your planned beach vacation activities - tanning, boogie-boarding, tide pools, walks through Ecola Park or just lazing - please allow for minor time and salt water ocean tide variations at Cannon Beach in Oregon. For example, a 9:20am 5ft high tide at Seaside's (Necanicum river) 12th Avenue bridge might well be a 8:50am 4.9ft high tide in Cannon Beach. The reason for these minor variations is because NOAA does not have an ocean tidal reference station at Cannon Beach. Therefore, to ensure your planned beach activities are fully realized - please consider arriving a little early.
