About the tides at Port Houghton (Inside)
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 1.4 ft. Port Houghton (Inside) sees a mean range of about 12.7 ft. Low tide can expose a wide area, and the return is fast. That is larger than most Alaska stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 15.2 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 19.4 ft, comes on Sunday, and the smallest, 5.7 ft, on October 17. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 18.4 ft on November 25 and bottom out at −4.3 ft on December 24.
Predictions for Port Houghton (Inside) come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1993 to 2024 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Hobart Bay, 10 mi away, where high tide comes about 5 min earlier.
