About the tides at Elfin Cove

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.6 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. With a mean range of about 8.7 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 11.0 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 15.5 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 6.1 ft, today. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 14.0 ft on December 24 and bottom out at −3.3 ft on July 5.

A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It also reports water temperature. It was established in 1938. The nearest other station is Inian Cove, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 12 min later. For tidal currents, see Port Althrop entr, east of George Island.
