About the tides at Middle Bluff

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 3.9 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The tide range here is very large, about 14.9 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. The next spring tides peak on Saturday, with a range of 23.0 ft. Neap tides follow on October 9, when the range shrinks to 16.6 ft.

Middle Bluff is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Port Moller: highs come about 236 min and lows about 250 min later than there. The nearest other station is Egegik River Ent, 15 mi away, where high tide comes about 40 min earlier.

Predictions are based on Port Moller.
