About the tides at Beck Island
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Clarence Strait, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Ketchikan, Tongass Narrows. Beck Island sees a mean range of about 13.6 ft. Low tide can expose a wide area, and the return is fast. That is larger than most Alaska stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 16.1 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 20.0 ft on December 24 and bottom out at −4.4 ft on July 5.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Ketchikan, Tongass Narrows, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here from 1978 to 2002 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Lake Bay, 3 mi away. For tidal currents, see Lincoln Rock Light, 1 mile west from.
Predictions are based on Ketchikan, Tongass Narrows.
