About the tides at Sand Point
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 range is large, about 5.2 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. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 7.2 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 9.5 ft on December 24, and the lowest is −2.7 ft on July 4.
Popof Island is a NOAA water level station with a live gauge, updated every 6 minutes. Predictions come from the station's own tide records. It also reports water temperature, wind and air pressure. It was established in 1972. The nearest other station is Zachary Bay, 4 mi away. For tidal currents, see Popof Strait.
