About the tides at Prudhoe Bay

Prudhoe Bay has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The mean range is small, about 0.5 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most Alaska stations on this site. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 1.4 ft on August 6, and the lowest is −0.5 ft on April 10.

Prudhoe Bay 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 1990. The nearest other station is Point Thomson, 56 mi away.
