About the tides at False Bay

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Chatham Strait, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. False Bay sees a mean range of about 12.5 ft. Low tide can expose a wide area, and the return is fast. That is larger than most Alaska stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 15.1 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 21.2 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 8.3 ft, today. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 18.1 ft on November 25 and bottom out at −4.1 ft on December 24.

Predictions for False 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 1984 to 2007 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Hawk Inlet Entrance, 10 mi away. For tidal currents, see Point Augusta, Ese of.
