About the tides at Japanese Bay

Japanese Bay has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The range is large, about 6.5 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. That is smaller than most Alaska stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 8.2 ft. The next spring tides peak on Sunday, with a range of 9.8 ft. Neap tides follow on October 16, when the range shrinks to 3.5 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 10.3 ft on November 25, and the lowest is −2.4 ft on July 5.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 1931 to 2014 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Moser Bay (Trap Point), 18 mi away, where high tide comes about 36 min later. For tidal currents, see Natalia Point.
