About the tides at Mining Camp
Mining Camp has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The pattern follows the reference station at SELDOVIA, Kachemak Bay. Mining Camp sees a mean range of about 11.2 ft. Low tide can expose a wide area, and the return is fast. That is larger than most Alaska stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 19.5 ft, comes on Sunday, and the smallest, 4.3 ft, on October 18. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 18.3 ft on January 23 and bottom out at −5.5 ft on July 5.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at SELDOVIA, Kachemak Bay, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Zachar Bay, 7 mi away, where high tide comes about 28 min later. For tidal currents, see Larsen Bay, Uyak Bay.
Predictions are based on SELDOVIA, Kachemak Bay.
