About the tides at Broad Bight
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.9 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The average range is about 3.6 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is smaller than most Alaska stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 5.6 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 28, with a range of 7.6 ft. Neap tides follow on October 29, when the range shrinks to 2.4 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 7.3 ft on December 24, and the lowest is −2.0 ft on July 4.
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 in 2013 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Akutan Harbor, 7 mi away, where high tide comes about 2 h 1 m later. For tidal currents, see Akutan Pass.
