About the tides at Kigul Island
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.8 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Unalaska, Dutch Harbor. 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, 5.4 ft, comes on Thursday, and the smallest, 1.2 ft, on Tuesday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 7.0 ft on December 23 and bottom out at −1.9 ft on June 6.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Unalaska, Dutch Harbor, 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, Dutch Harbor.
