About the tides at Kenai City Pier

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 1.5 ft. The pattern follows the reference station at Seldovia, Cook Inlet. The tide range here is very large, about 17.4 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 tomorrow, with a range of 25.3 ft. Neap tides follow on October 19, when the range shrinks to 9.6 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 24.3 ft on January 23, and the lowest is −5.5 ft on July 5.

Kenai City Pier is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Seldovia, Cook Inlet: 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 7 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Kenai City Wharf.

Predictions are based on Seldovia, Cook Inlet.
