About the tides at Nikolski

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 average range is about 2.7 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is smaller than most Alaska stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 4.0 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 29, with a range of 5.7 ft. Neap tides follow on Thursday, when the range shrinks to 2.2 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 5.7 ft on December 23, and the lowest is −1.8 ft on July 4.

Nikolski is a NOAA water level station with a live gauge, updated every 6 minutes. Predictions come from the station's own tide records. It also reports wind and air pressure. It was established in 2006. The nearest other station is Okee Bay, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 15 min later.

Tide predictions and water levels from NOAA CO-OPS. For planning only, not for navigation. Real water levels can differ because of wind, air pressure and river flow. Always check conditions on site.
