About the tides at Point Thomson

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. Water here rises and falls only about 0.5 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. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 0.7 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 0.9 ft, comes on October 12, and the smallest, 0.3 ft, today. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 1.4 ft on August 5 and bottom out at −0.5 ft on April 9.

Predictions for Point Thomson come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here in 2025 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Prudhoe Bay, 56 mi away, where high tide comes about 12 min later.
