About the tides at Kenai City Pier

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 1.6 ft. The pattern follows the reference station at SELDOVIA, Kachemak Bay. The tide range here is very large, about 17.3 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 October 11, with a range of 25.3 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 14.6 ft.

Kenai City Pier is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting SELDOVIA, Kachemak Bay: highs come about 114 min and lows about 175 min later than there. The nearest other station is Chinulna Point, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 10 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Kenai City Wharf.

Predictions are based on SELDOVIA, Kachemak Bay.
