About the tides at Macleod Harbor
This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The pattern follows the reference station at Cordova, Orca Inlet, Prince William Sd. With a mean range of about 8.9 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 11.2 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 15.5 ft, comes on October 26, and the smallest, 3.4 ft, tomorrow. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 14.1 ft on November 25 and bottom out at −3.6 ft on July 5.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Cordova, Orca Inlet, Prince William Sd, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here from 1978 to 2000 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is 5 miles NE of Point Brazil, 12 mi away, where high tide comes about 14 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Montague Strait, NW of Pt. Woodcock.
Predictions are based on Cordova, Orca Inlet, Prince William Sd.
