About the tides at Cape Sarichef
Cape Sarichef 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 2.7 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 5.0 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 5.9 ft on January 20 and bottom out at −2.0 ft on December 23.
Predictions for Cape Sarichef come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1939 to 2007 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Scotch Cap, 16 mi away, where high tide comes about 2 h 14 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Unimak Pass, North Approach.
