About the tides at Bird Island

Bird Island has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. On a typical day the water moves about 5.0 ft between high and low. That is smaller than most Alaska stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 7.0 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 8.5 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 4.3 ft, tomorrow.

Predictions for Bird 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 in 2013 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Herendeen Island, 21 mi away, where high tide comes about 8 min later.
