About the tides at Holkham Bay, Wood Spit
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 1.8 ft. The pattern follows the reference station at Juneau. The tide range here is very large, about 12.8 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.
Holkham Bay, Wood Spit is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Juneau: highs come about 3 min and lows about 6 min later than there. The nearest other station is Holkham Bay, 3 mi away. For tidal currents, see Point Astley, NE of, Tracy Arm.
Predictions are based on Juneau.
