About the tides at Hawk Inlet Entrance
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 1.5 ft. Hawk Inlet Entrance sees a mean range of about 12.8 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 15.3 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 18.5 ft, comes on Sunday, and the smallest, 6.0 ft, on October 17. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 18.6 ft on November 25 and bottom out at −3.8 ft on July 5.
Predictions for Hawk Inlet Entrance 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 1983 to 1999 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Young Bay, 10 mi away. For tidal currents, see Hawk Inlet, Hawk Point.
