About the tides at Loring
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. The tide range here is very large, about 12.7 ft on average. Water can come in faster than you can walk across flats. Check the time before you go out. That is larger than most Alaska stations on this site. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 19.4 ft on December 24, and the lowest is −4.2 ft on July 5.
Loring is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Ketchikan, Tongass Narrows: highs come about 2 min and lows about 6 min earlier than there. The nearest other station is Coon Island, 11 mi away. For tidal currents, see Helm Point.
Predictions are based on Ketchikan, Tongass Narrows.
