About the tides at El Capitan Island

El Capitan Island has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The pattern follows the reference station at Sitka, Baronof Island, Sitka Sound. The range is large, about 8.4 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 13.5 ft on December 24, and the lowest is −3.3 ft on July 5.

El Capitan Island is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Sitka, Baronof Island, Sitka Sound: highs come about 11 min and lows about 10 min earlier than there. The nearest other station is Tuxekan, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 6 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Skookumchuck Pass.

Predictions are based on Sitka, Baronof Island, Sitka Sound.
