About the tides at Otter Point
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.4 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The mean range is small, about 1.8 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most Alaska stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on Saturday, with a range of 4.3 ft. Neap tides follow on October 10, when the range shrinks to 0.8 ft.
Otter Point is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Unalaska: highs come about 27 min and lows about 40 min earlier than there. The nearest other station is Chernofski Harbor, 13 mi away, where high tide comes about 17 min later. For tidal currents, see Umnak Pass, northwest of Ship Rock.
Predictions are based on Unalaska.
