About the tides at Mekoryuk
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.0 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. With a mean range of about 6.4 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. That is smaller than most Alaska stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 7.6 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 9.0 ft, comes on Friday, and the smallest, 6.3 ft, on Sunday.
Predictions for Mekoryuk come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1951 to 2010 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Nelson Island, 36 mi away, where high tide comes about 39 min later.
