About the tides at Point Lockwood
Point Lockwood has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The tide range here is very large, about 12.7 ft on average. Water can come in faster than you can walk across flats. Check the time before you go out. That is larger than most Alaska stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 15.1 ft. The next spring tides peak on Saturday, with a range of 18.8 ft. Neap tides follow on October 17, when the range shrinks to 5.8 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 18.1 ft on December 24, and the lowest is −4.1 ft on December 24.
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 from 1925 to 2003 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Beecher Pass, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 7 min later. For tidal currents, see Point Lockwood.
