About the tides at Homer

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 1.8 ft. Homer sees a mean range of about 15.9 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 18.4 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 22.6 ft on November 25 and bottom out at −5.3 ft on July 5.

Predictions for Homer 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 1979 to 2018 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Halibut Cove, 7 mi away. For tidal currents, see Homer Spit.
