About the tides at Kotzebue

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.3 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The mean range is small, about 0.5 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most Alaska stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 0.7 ft. The next spring tides peak tomorrow, with a range of 0.8 ft. Neap tides follow on Monday, when the range shrinks to 0.4 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 0.9 ft on November 26, and the lowest is −0.1 ft on December 28.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 1950 to 2015 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Cape Krusenstern, 23 mi away, where high tide comes about 2 h 13 m later.
