About the tides at Peterson Bay

Peterson Bay has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The average range is about 3.9 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is smaller than most Alaska stations on this site. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 7.4 ft. Neap tides follow tomorrow, when the range shrinks to 3.2 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 7.9 ft on December 24, and the lowest is −2.8 ft on July 4.

Peterson Bay is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Sand Point, Popof Island: highs come about 5 min and lows about 8 min earlier than there. The nearest other station is Sanak Harbor, 9 mi away, where high tide comes about 19 min later.

Predictions are based on Sand Point, Popof Island.
