About the tides at Saginaw Bay

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Kuiu Island, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. Saginaw Bay sees a mean range of about 11.4 ft. Low tide can expose a wide area, and the return is fast. That is larger than most Alaska stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 13.7 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 17.5 ft, comes on October 25, and the smallest, 4.7 ft, on Saturday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 17.0 ft on November 25 and bottom out at −3.8 ft on July 5.

Predictions for Saginaw Bay come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1967 to 1996 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Herring Bay, 15 mi away, where high tide comes about 6 min later. For tidal currents, see Kingsmill Point Light, 3 miles west of.
