About the tides at Goose Creek

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 1.3 ft. Goose Creek sees a mean range of about 28.0 ft. Low tide can expose a wide area, and the return is fast. That is larger than most Alaska stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 31.0 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 39.3 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 16.5 ft, today. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 37.3 ft on September 2 and bottom out at −4.4 ft on December 25.

Predictions for Goose Creek come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1974 to 2013 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Port MacKenzie, 9 mi away, where high tide comes about 20 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Knik Arm Mud Flats, south of.
