About the tides at Kivalina

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.1 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. Water here rises and falls only about 0.7 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is smaller than most Alaska stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 0.9 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.2 ft, comes tomorrow, and the smallest, 0.4 ft, on October 20. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 1.1 ft on January 25 and bottom out at −0.2 ft on September 3.

Predictions for Kivalina come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1950 to 2003 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Red Dog Dock, 17 mi away, where high tide comes about 5 min later.
