About the tides at Bradfield Canal

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 1.6 ft. The tide range here is very large, about 14.1 ft on average. Water can come in faster than you can walk across flats. Check the time before you go out. That is larger than most Alaska stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 16.6 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 11, with a range of 20.8 ft. Neap tides follow on Friday, when the range shrinks to 11.1 ft.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 2005 to 2025 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Thoms Point, 20 mi away, where high tide comes about 6 min earlier.
