About the tides at Goodnews Bay entrance

This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The pattern follows the reference station at Platinum. With a mean range of about 5.9 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. That is smaller than most Alaska stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 9.4 ft, comes on Thursday, and the smallest, 4.1 ft, today. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 11.7 ft on December 24 and bottom out at −0.8 ft on July 11.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Platinum, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Platinum, 0.4 mi away. For tidal currents, see Goodnews Bay entrance.

Predictions are based on Platinum.
