About the tides at Port MacKenzie

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 1.2 ft. Port MacKenzie sees a mean range of about 26.1 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 29.1 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 34.6 ft, comes on October 11, and the smallest, 20.8 ft, on Monday.

Predictions for Port MacKenzie 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 2001 to 2002 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Anchorage, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 8 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Port Mackenzie.
