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 15, with a range of 4.4 ft. Neap tides follow on Friday, when the range shrinks to 2.0 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 23 min later.
