About the tides at Bushy Island
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 12.4 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 14.7 ft. The next spring tides peak on Sunday, with a range of 18.4 ft. Neap tides follow on October 17, when the range shrinks to 5.6 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 17.8 ft on December 24, and the lowest is −4.1 ft on December 24.
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 1916 to 2000 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Blashke Island, 11 mi away, where high tide comes about 13 min later. For tidal currents, see Snow Passage Narrows.
