About the tides at Holkham Bay
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 1.5 ft. Holkham Bay sees a mean range of about 13.1 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 15.6 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 19.4 ft, comes on October 11, and the smallest, 10.4 ft, on Friday.
Predictions for Holkham Bay 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 1973 to 1997 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Holkham Bay, Wood Spit, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 6 min later. For tidal currents, see Tracy Arm Bar.
