About the tides at Excursion Inlet Entrance
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Excursion Inlet (South End), each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The tide range here is very large, about 12.4 ft on average. Water can come in faster than you can walk across flats. Check the time before you go out. That is larger than most Alaska stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 14.9 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 20.8 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 7.8 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 18.3 ft on November 25, and the lowest is −3.8 ft on July 5.
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 from 1923 to 1999 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Excursion Inlet, 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 6 min later. For tidal currents, see Porpoise Island.
