About the tides at Hoonah

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Port Fredrick, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. Hoonah sees a mean range of about 12.5 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 15.0 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 18.6 ft, comes on October 11, and the smallest, 10.3 ft, on Friday.

Predictions for Hoonah come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here in 2009 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Swanson Harbor, 14 mi away. For tidal currents, see Sisters Reef.
