About the tides at Point Barrow
This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The pattern follows the reference station at Kodiak Island, Womens Bay. Water here rises and falls only about 0.3 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is smaller than most Alaska stations on this site. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 0.5 ft on December 24 and bottom out at −0.1 ft on July 5.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Kodiak Island, Womens Bay, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Barrow Offshore, 8 mi away, where high tide comes about 30 min earlier.
Predictions are based on Kodiak Island, Womens Bay.
