About the tides at Beaver Bay
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.8 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at KODIAK, Womens Bay. The range is large, about 6.6 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. That is smaller than most Alaska stations on this site. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 10.7 ft. Neap tides follow tomorrow, when the range shrinks to 6.9 ft.
Beaver Bay is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting KODIAK, Womens Bay: highs come about 3 min and lows about 2 min later than there. The nearest other station is Albatross Anchorage, 12 mi away, where high tide comes about 25 min later. For tidal currents, see Unga Strait (1.4 miles N of Unga Spit).
Predictions are based on KODIAK, Womens Bay.
