Mid October and mid February are best, but you need to time it with a pretty low tide at sunset to be able to get anywhere in the tunnel. Those three conditions probably line up about 3 or 4 times a year. Ohh yeah, and it is Oregon, so you have to hope it isn\'t raining on those days. Now, if you don\'t care about having the orange glow on the tunnel wall, your options increase dramatically.
I use the Netart\'s Bay tide chart for this area and it should us having had a -0.1 tide right at sunset. Now peak light is a little before that, so this was at around a 0.2 or 0.3 tide. Like Dustin, I really want to get in deeper to the tunnel, but I think to do that and have shallow enough water to get good streaking action would require a -1.0 tide or so.
