About the tides at Chirikof Island

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.4 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The range is large, about 6.5 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. That is smaller than most Alaska stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 8.8 ft. The next spring tides peak on Sunday, with a range of 10.3 ft. Neap tides follow on October 16, when the range shrinks to 3.7 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 10.8 ft on December 24, and the lowest is −2.8 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 in 2006 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Chowiet Island, 41 mi away, where high tide comes about 26 min later.
