About the tides at Nome
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.1 ft. Water here rises and falls only about 1.0 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is smaller than most Alaska stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.5 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.5 ft, comes on October 30, and the smallest, 0.8 ft, on Sunday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.1 ft on July 11 and bottom out at −0.5 ft on May 10.
A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It also reports wind and air pressure. It was established in 1944. The nearest other station is Umuruk Basin, 43 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 1 m earlier.
