About the tides at Atka

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.3 ft. The average range is about 2.7 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is smaller than most Alaska stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 3.4 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 4.3 ft. Neap tides follow on October 23, when the range shrinks to 1.3 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 5.1 ft on December 23, and the lowest is −1.7 ft on June 6.

Nazan Bay is a NOAA water level station with a live gauge, updated every 6 minutes. Predictions come from the station's own tide records. It also reports water temperature, wind and air pressure. It was established in 2006. The nearest other station is Martin Harbor, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 14 min later.
