About the tides at Akun Cove
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Akun Island, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The average range is about 2.4 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is smaller than most Alaska stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 3.1 ft. The next spring tides peak on Saturday, with a range of 4.1 ft. Neap tides follow on October 10, when the range shrinks to 0.6 ft.
This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 2009 to 2011 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Trident Bay, 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 24 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Akun Strait.
