About the tides at Carry Inlet

Carry Inlet has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The pattern follows the reference station at Seldovia, Cook Inlet. Carry Inlet sees a mean range of about 10.8 ft. Low tide can expose a wide area, and the return is fast. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 19.1 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 5.5 ft, on Monday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 16.3 ft on January 23 and bottom out at −4.0 ft on July 5.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Seldovia, Cook Inlet, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Big Bay, 4 mi away. For tidal currents, see North of Perevalnie Island, Shuyak Island.

Predictions are based on Seldovia, Cook Inlet.
