About the tides at Finch Cove
Finch Cove has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The pattern follows the reference station at Sweeper Cove, Kuluk Bay, Adak Island. The average range is about 2.3 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is smaller than most Alaska stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on Saturday, with a range of 4.5 ft. Neap tides follow on October 10, when the range shrinks to 0.8 ft.
Finch Cove is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Sweeper Cove, Kuluk Bay, Adak Island: highs come about 60 min earlier and lows about 7 min later than there.
Predictions are based on Sweeper Cove, Kuluk Bay, Adak Island.
