About the tides at Cold Bay
Cold Bay has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. With a mean range of about 5.4 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 7.4 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 9.6 ft on December 24 and bottom out at −2.6 ft on July 4.
Predictions for Cold Bay 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 1969 to 2013 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Grant Point, 9 mi away, where high tide comes about 5 h 7 m later.
