About the tides at Fox Bay

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.7 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at KODIAK, Womens Bay. With a mean range of about 7.6 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 11.5 ft, comes on October 11, and the smallest, 7.8 ft, on Tuesday.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at KODIAK, Womens Bay, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Uzkosti Point, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 7 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Afognak Strait, East Entrance.

Predictions are based on KODIAK, Womens Bay.
