About the tides at Old Harbor

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. With a mean range of about 6.5 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. That is smaller than most Alaska stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 8.3 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 10.0 ft, comes on Sunday, and the smallest, 3.4 ft, on October 16. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 10.5 ft on December 24 and bottom out at −2.4 ft on July 4.

Predictions for Old Harbor 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 2009 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Port Hobron, 6 mi away. For tidal currents, see Old Harbor.
