About the tides at Anchor Point, 9455606
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Anchor Point, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. Anchor Point, 9455606 sees a mean range of about 15.9 ft. Low tide can expose a wide area, and the return is fast. That is larger than most Alaska stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 18.4 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 26.0 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 10.3 ft, today. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 22.2 ft on September 2 and bottom out at −5.1 ft on December 24.
Predictions for Anchor Point, 9455606 come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only.
