About the tides at Minnie Bay
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.3 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Sitka. Minnie Bay sees a mean range of about 10.1 ft. Low tide can expose a wide area, and the return is fast.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Sitka, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Hunter Bay, 10 mi away. For tidal currents, see Point Marsh, 5 miles south from.
Predictions are based on Sitka.
