About the tides at Mabel Island
Mabel Island has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The pattern follows the reference station at Sitka. The tide range here is very large, about 10.2 ft on average. Water can come in faster than you can walk across flats. Check the time before you go out. The next spring tides peak on Sunday, with a range of 14.6 ft. Neap tides follow on October 17, when the range shrinks to 5.6 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 15.4 ft on December 24, and the lowest is −3.1 ft on July 5.
Mabel Island is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Sitka: highs come about 10 min and lows about 1 min earlier than there. The nearest other station is Keete Island, 3 mi away. For tidal currents, see Webster Point, 1 mile west of.
Predictions are based on Sitka.
