About the tides at Alitak

Alitak has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. With a mean range of about 9.4 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 11.7 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 17.0 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 6.0 ft, today. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 14.8 ft on December 24 and bottom out at −3.7 ft on July 5.

A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It also reports water temperature, wind and air pressure. It was established in 1929. The nearest other station is Moser Bay (Trap Point), 8 mi away, where high tide comes about 11 min later. For tidal currents, see Cape Trinity.
