About the tides at Bear Bay

Bear Bay has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The pattern follows the reference station at Sitka. Bear Bay sees a mean range of about 11.1 ft. Low tide can expose a wide area, and the return is fast.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Sitka, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Serguis Narrows, 2 mi away. For tidal currents, see Point Siroi.

Predictions are based on Sitka.
