About the tides at Middleton Island (north end)
Middleton Island (north end) 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 Cordova, Orca Inlet, Prince William Sd. The range is large, about 7.8 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 13.3 ft. Neap tides follow on Saturday, when the range shrinks to 2.2 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 13.7 ft on November 25, and the lowest is −3.8 ft on July 5.
Middleton Island (north end) is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Cordova, Orca Inlet, Prince William Sd: highs come about 21 min and lows about 14 min earlier than there. The nearest other station is Wooded Islands, 48 mi away, where high tide comes about 20 min later.
Predictions are based on Cordova, Orca Inlet, Prince William Sd.
