About the tides at Nukshak Island

Nukshak Island has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. Nukshak Island sees a mean range of about 11.4 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 13.8 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 19.5 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 7.1 ft, today. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 17.1 ft on December 25 and bottom out at −3.7 ft on July 5.

Predictions for Nukshak Island come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1971 to 2000 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Kukak, 7 mi away, where high tide comes about 9 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Kukak Bay, Shelikof Strait.
