About the tides at Gambier Bay (cannery wharf)
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Gambier Bay (cannery wharf), each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Juneau. The tide range here is very large, about 12.6 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 15.1 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 11, with a range of 18.8 ft. Neap tides follow on Friday, when the range shrinks to 9.5 ft.
Gambier Bay (cannery wharf) is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Juneau: highs come about 1 min and lows about 1 min earlier than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1913 to 1995 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Good Island, 2 mi away. For tidal currents, see Point Gambier, 2 miles east of.
Predictions are based on Juneau.
