About the tides at Nachalni Island
Nachalni Island has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The tide range here is very large, about 11.1 ft on average. Water can come in faster than you can walk across flats. Check the time before you go out. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 13.7 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 11, with a range of 17.0 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 10.0 ft.
This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 1981 to 2014 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Uzkosti Point, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 18 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Chernof Point, 0.8mile off.
