About the tides at Platinum

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 4.5 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The range is large, about 6.1 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. That is smaller than most Alaska stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 9.4 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 31, with a range of 11.2 ft. Neap tides follow on October 29, when the range shrinks to 3.1 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 11.6 ft on December 24, and the lowest is −0.9 ft on July 11.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here in 2007 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Goodnews Bay entrance, 0.4 mi away. For tidal currents, see Goodnews Bay entrance.
