About the tides at Halibut Cove

Halibut Cove 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 Seldovia, Cook Inlet. Halibut Cove sees a mean range of about 15.4 ft. Low tide can expose a wide area, and the return is fast. That is larger than most Alaska stations on this site. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 23.0 ft on January 23 and bottom out at −5.4 ft on July 5.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Seldovia, Cook Inlet, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Homer, 7 mi away. For tidal currents, see Glacier Spit.

Predictions are based on Seldovia, Cook Inlet.
