About the tides at Pikmiktalik River entrance

Tides at Pikmiktalik River entrance are mostly diurnal: one rise and one fall a day, with a slow change between them. The pattern follows the reference station at Unalakleet. On a typical day the water moves about 2.3 ft between high and low. That is smaller than most Alaska stations on this site. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 5.3 ft on July 4 and bottom out at −0.5 ft on December 11.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Unalakleet, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Stebbins, 19 mi away, where high tide comes about 29 min earlier.

Predictions are based on Unalakleet.
