About the tides at Sanak Harbor
This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The average range is about 4.3 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is smaller than most Alaska stations on this site. The next spring tides peak tomorrow, with a range of 7.7 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 4.5 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 8.5 ft on December 24, and the lowest is −2.8 ft on July 4.
Sanak Harbor is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Sand Point, Popof Island: highs come about 14 min and lows about 3 min later than there. The nearest other station is Peterson Bay, 9 mi away, where high tide comes about 19 min earlier.
Predictions are based on Sand Point, Popof Island.
