About the tides at Protection Point
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 4.1 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. Protection Point sees a mean range of about 13.1 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 17.7 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 20.8 ft, comes on Saturday, and the smallest, 14.0 ft, on Tuesday.
Predictions for Protection Point 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 1950 to 2012 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Cape Constantine, 16 mi away, where high tide comes about 3 h 46 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Protection Point, 2.5 miles east of.
