About the tides at Isanotski Strait Entrance
Isanotski Strait Entrance has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. On a typical day the water moves about 4.6 ft between high and low. That is smaller than most Alaska stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 6.6 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 8.6 ft on December 24 and bottom out at −2.5 ft on July 4.
Predictions for Isanotski Strait Entrance 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 2014 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is False Pass, 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 6 m later. For tidal currents, see Isanotski Strait (False Pass Cnry).
