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 Island, 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 today, and the smallest, 5.7 ft, on October 19. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 12.6 ft on December 24 and bottom out at −2.3 ft on July 5.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Kodiak Island, 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 13 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Afognak Strait, East Entrance.

Predictions are based on Kodiak Island, Womens Bay.
