About the tides at Mud Bay

This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The pattern follows the reference station at Sitka, Baronof Island, Sitka Sound. The tide range here is very large, about 10.2 ft on average. Water can come in faster than you can walk across flats. Check the time before you go out. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 14.6 ft. Neap tides follow on Saturday, when the range shrinks to 5.6 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 15.4 ft on December 24, and the lowest is −3.1 ft on July 5.

Mud Bay is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Sitka, Baronof Island, Sitka Sound: highs come about 5 min earlier and lows about 1 min later than there. The nearest other station is Keete Island, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 8 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Mellen Rock, 1 mile east of.

Predictions are based on Sitka, Baronof Island, Sitka Sound.
