About the tides at Haines Inlet

Haines Inlet has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The pattern follows the reference station at Juneau. The tide range here is very large, about 14.0 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. The next spring tides peak on October 11, with a range of 20.9 ft. Neap tides follow on Friday, when the range shrinks to 11.0 ft.

Haines Inlet is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Juneau: highs come about 9 min and lows about 6 min earlier than there. The nearest other station is Chilkat Inlet, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 6 min later. For tidal currents, see Battery Point, Chilkoot Inlet.

Predictions are based on Juneau.
