About the tides at American Bay

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. The pattern follows the reference station at Sitka, Baronof Island, Sitka Sound. The range is large, about 9.9 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 15.1 ft on December 24, and the lowest is −3.2 ft on July 5.

American Bay is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Sitka, Baronof Island, Sitka Sound: highs come about 1 min and lows about 1 min later than there. The nearest other station is Security Cove, 7 mi away, where high tide comes about 21 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Shoe Rock, 1 mile north of.

Predictions are based on Sitka, Baronof Island, Sitka Sound.
