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, Prince William Sound. The range is large, about 9.1 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 15.1 ft on November 25, and the lowest is −3.5 ft on July 5.

Rocky Point is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Valdez, Prince William Sound: 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, Prince William Sound.
