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. The range is large, about 7.9 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. The next spring tides peak on October 11, with a range of 13.3 ft. Neap tides follow on Friday, when the range shrinks to 5.7 ft.
Middleton Island (north end) is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Cordova: 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 16 min later.
Predictions are based on Cordova.
