About the tides at Naknek
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 3.3 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. Naknek sees a mean range of about 17.2 ft. Low tide can expose a wide area, and the return is fast. That is larger than most Alaska stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 20.0 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 21.8 ft, comes on Friday, and the smallest, 16.8 ft, on Tuesday.
Predictions for Naknek come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here in 2019 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Omakstalia Point, 8 mi away, where high tide comes about 2 h 54 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Morakas Point, Naknek River.
