About the tides at Sanborn Harbor
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.7 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Sand Point, Popof Island. The range is large, about 5.0 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. That is smaller than most Alaska stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on November 22, with a range of 9.0 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 2.0 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 9.5 ft on December 24, and the lowest is −2.6 ft on July 4.
Sanborn Harbor is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Sand Point, Popof Island: highs come about 3 min later and lows about 3 min earlier than there. The nearest other station is Pirate Cove, 20 mi away, where high tide comes about 5 min later.
Predictions are based on Sand Point, Popof Island.
