About the tides at Port Alexander

Port Alexander has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The range is large, about 8.6 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 10.9 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 15.4 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 6.0 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 13.8 ft on December 24, and the lowest is −3.3 ft on July 5.

Baranof Island is a NOAA water level station with a live gauge, updated every 6 minutes. Predictions come from the station's own tide records. It also reports wind and air pressure. It was established in 1924. The nearest other station is Port Walter, 10 mi away. For tidal currents, see Cape Ommaney Light, 5 miles east of.
