About the tides at Amak Island

This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. On a typical day the water moves about 4.8 ft between high and low. That is smaller than most Alaska stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 9.9 ft, comes on Saturday, and the smallest, 5.1 ft, on October 9.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Unalaska, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Grant Point, 13 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 16 m later. For tidal currents, see Amak Island, 5 miles southeast of.

Predictions are based on Unalaska.
