About the tides at Kasitsna Bay

Kasitsna Bay has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The tide range here is very large, about 15.7 ft on average. Water can come in faster than you can walk across flats. Check the time before you go out. That is larger than most Alaska stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 18.1 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 22.2 ft on September 2, and the lowest is −5.5 ft on December 24.

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 1980 to 2008 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Seldovia, 6 mi away. For tidal currents, see Seldovia.
