About the tides at Rootok Island

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.9 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. On a typical day the water moves about 3.3 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 5.1 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 5.9 ft, comes tomorrow, and the smallest, 2.7 ft, today.

Predictions for Rootok Island 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 2012 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Trident Bay, 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 12 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Avatanak Strait.
