About the tides at Baranof
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 tide range here is very large, about 11.3 ft on average. Water can come in faster than you can walk across flats. Check the time before you go out. That is larger than most Alaska stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 13.8 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 16.5 ft on December 24, and the lowest is −3.8 ft on December 24.
This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 1926 to 2007 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Kasnyku Bay, 9 mi away. For tidal currents, see Point Gardner Light, 2 miles west of.
