About the tides at Barter Island
Barter Island has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. Water here rises and falls only about 0.5 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is smaller than most Alaska stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 0.8 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 0.2 ft, today. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 0.7 ft on October 27 and bottom out at −0.1 ft on October 27.
Predictions for Barter Island come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1948 to 2008 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Point Thomson, 62 mi away, where high tide comes about 15 min earlier.
