About the tides at Lancaster Cove

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 2.0 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Ketchikan, Tongass Narrows. Lancaster Cove sees a mean range of about 12.2 ft. Low tide can expose a wide area, and the return is fast. That is larger than most Alaska stations on this site. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 18.7 ft on December 24 and bottom out at −4.2 ft on July 5.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Ketchikan, Tongass Narrows, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Divide Head, 9 mi away, where high tide comes about 10 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Cholmondeley Sound entrance.

Predictions are based on Ketchikan, Tongass Narrows.
