About the tides at Alert
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.09 m, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The mean range is small, about 0.47 m, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most Nunavut stations on this site.
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. Canadian tide heights use chart datum, a level set low on purpose. Negative heights are uncommon.
Tide predictions and water levels from the Canadian Hydrographic Service. For planning only, not for navigation. Real water levels can differ because of wind, air pressure and river flow. Always check conditions on site.
