About the tides at Japanese Bay

Japanese Bay has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. 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 today, with a range of 9.9 ft. Neap tides follow tomorrow, when the range shrinks to 5.9 ft.

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.
