About the tides at Saltery Cove
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Skowl Arm, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The tide range here is very large, about 13.1 ft on average. Water can come in faster than you can walk across flats. Check the time before you go out. That is larger than most Alaska stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 15.6 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 11, with a range of 19.7 ft. Neap tides follow on Friday, when the range shrinks to 10.4 ft.
This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 1921 to 2003 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Kasaan, 10 mi away. For tidal currents, see Skowl Arm, Kasaan Bay.
