About the tides at Kasnyku Bay
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Kasnyku Bay, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Juneau. The tide range here is very large, about 11.1 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. The next spring tides peak on Sunday, with a range of 18.1 ft. Neap tides follow on October 17, when the range shrinks to 3.6 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 17.5 ft on December 24, and the lowest is −4.6 ft on July 5.
Kasnyku Bay is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Juneau: highs come about 10 min and lows about 6 min earlier than there. The nearest other station is Baranof, 9 mi away. For tidal currents, see Point Caution, 3 miles west of.
Predictions are based on Juneau.
