About the tides at Reef Bight

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.2 ft. On a typical day the water moves about 2.3 ft between high and low. That is smaller than most Alaska stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 3.6 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 4.7 ft, comes on Saturday, and the smallest, 1.6 ft, on October 9.

Predictions for Reef Bight come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here in 2007 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Broad Bight, 8 mi away, where high tide comes about 2 h 20 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Akutan Pass.
