About the tides at Dry Strait

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Dry Strait, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Juneau. Dry Strait sees a mean range of about 13.3 ft. Low tide can expose a wide area, and the return is fast. That is larger than most Alaska stations on this site.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Juneau, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Blaquiere Point, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 6 min later. For tidal currents, see Cosmos Point, 0.5 mile east of.

Predictions are based on Juneau.
