About the tides at Akutan Harbor

Akutan Harbor 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 Unalaska, Dutch Harbor. On a typical day the water moves about 2.6 ft between high and low. That is smaller than most Alaska stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 5.6 ft, comes on October 30, and the smallest, 1.0 ft, on Sunday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 5.5 ft on December 23 and bottom out at −1.7 ft on June 6.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Unalaska, Dutch Harbor, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Akutan, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 26 min later. For tidal currents, see Akutan Bay.

Predictions are based on Unalaska, Dutch Harbor.
