About the tides at Sand Bay

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.5 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Adak Island, Sweeper Cove. The average range is about 2.8 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 on October 29, with a range of 5.6 ft. Neap tides follow on Friday, when the range shrinks to 1.6 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 5.4 ft on December 23, and the lowest is −1.7 ft on June 6.

Sand Bay is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Adak Island, Sweeper Cove: highs come about 5 min and lows about 20 min earlier than there. The nearest other station is Bugle Point, 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 6 min later. For tidal currents, see Chugul Pass, 0.5 mile NE of Cape Ruin.

Predictions are based on Adak Island, Sweeper Cove.
