About the tides at Cape Chunak
This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. With a mean range of about 5.1 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. That is smaller than most Alaska stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 7.5 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 10.3 ft, comes on October 30, and the smallest, 3.6 ft, on Friday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 9.1 ft on November 29 and bottom out at −2.3 ft on July 4.
Predictions for Cape Chunak 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 2014 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is St. Catherine Cove, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 32 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Bechevin Bay, off Rocky Point.
