About the tides at Rocky Point

Rocky Point has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The pattern follows the reference station at VALDEZ, Port Valdez. The range is large, about 9.4 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. The next spring tides peak on October 11, with a range of 14.7 ft. Neap tides follow on Friday, when the range shrinks to 7.4 ft.

Rocky Point is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting VALDEZ, Port Valdez: highs come about 0 min and lows about 3 min earlier than there. NOAA measured the tide here in 1977 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Busby Island, 3 mi away. For tidal currents, see Valdez Arms, west of Rocky Point.

Predictions are based on VALDEZ, Port Valdez.
