About the tides at Nunam Iqua (Sheldon Point)

Nunam Iqua (Sheldon Point) has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. Water here rises and falls only about 1.8 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 2.6 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 3.0 ft, comes on Wednesday, and the smallest, 0.8 ft, on October 19. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 3.5 ft on November 26 and bottom out at −0.6 ft on November 28.

Predictions for Nunam Iqua (Sheldon Point) 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 2011 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Alakanuk, 12 mi away, where high tide comes about 31 min later.
