About the tides at Alert

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.10 m, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The mean range is small, about 0.46 m, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most Nunavut stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 0.82 m. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 0.21 m.

Alert is a CHS station with a live water level gauge. Predictions come from the station's own tidal analysis. It was established in 1960. The nearest other station is Cape Sheridan, 13 km away, where high tide comes about 5 min later. Canadian tide heights use chart datum, a level set low on purpose. Negative heights are uncommon.
