About the tides at Picnic Harbor

Picnic Harbor has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The pattern follows the reference station at Seward, Resurrection Bay. The tide range here is very large, about 10.5 ft on average. Water can come in faster than you can walk across flats. Check the time before you go out.

Picnic Harbor is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Seward, Resurrection Bay: highs come about 26 min and lows about 21 min later than there. The nearest other station is Port Chatham, 11 mi away, where high tide comes about 21 min later.

Predictions are based on Seward, Resurrection Bay.
