About the tides at Goodnews Bay
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 4.6 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. With a mean range of about 6.8 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 9.7 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 11.7 ft, comes on October 31, and the smallest, 3.6 ft, on October 28. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 12.2 ft on December 24 and bottom out at −1.1 ft on June 11.
Predictions for Goodnews 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 in 2022 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Goodnews Bay entrance, 9 mi away, where high tide comes about 20 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Goodnews Bay entrance.
