About the tides at Affleck Canal entrance

Affleck Canal entrance has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The pattern follows the reference station at Sitka, Baronof Island, Sitka Sound. With a mean range of about 8.6 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 10.7 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 13.7 ft on December 24 and bottom out at −3.0 ft on July 5.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Sitka, Baronof Island, Sitka Sound, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here in 2005 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Point St. Albans, 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 8 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Fairway Island, SW of.

Predictions are based on Sitka, Baronof Island, Sitka Sound.
