About the tides at Ingraham Bay
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Prince of Wales Island, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Ketchikan. Ingraham Bay sees a mean range of about 11.8 ft. Low tide can expose a wide area, and the return is fast. That is larger than most Alaska stations on this site.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Ketchikan, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Menefee Anch., 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 5 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Moira Rock, 2 miles east of.
Predictions are based on Ketchikan.
