About the tides at Reef Bight

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.4 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. 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, 3.7 ft, comes on Thursday, and the smallest, 2.1 ft, on October 22. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 4.4 ft on January 20 and bottom out at −1.9 ft on December 23.

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 10 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Akutan Pass.
