About the tides at Kigul Island
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.6 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. On a typical day the water moves about 3.0 ft between high and low. That is smaller than most Alaska stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 6.5 ft, comes on Saturday, and the smallest, 1.0 ft, today.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Unalaska, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Driftwood Bay, 13 mi away, where high tide comes about 8 min later.
Predictions are based on Unalaska.
