About the tides at Aleck Bay
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.3 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Port Townsend, Admiralty Inlet. The range is large, about 5.0 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. That is smaller than most Washington stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on October 29, with a range of 10.4 ft. Neap tides follow on October 28, when the range shrinks to 2.0 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 8.8 ft on December 26, and the lowest is −3.2 ft on July 4.
Aleck Bay is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Port Townsend, Admiralty Inlet: highs come about 18 min and lows about 8 min earlier than there. The nearest other station is Telegraph Bay, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 13 min later. For tidal currents, see Colville Island, 1 mile Sse of.
Predictions are based on Port Townsend, Admiralty Inlet.
