About the tides at Scotch Cap

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. On a typical day the water moves about 4.0 ft between high and low. That is smaller than most Alaska stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 6.2 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 7.1 ft, comes tomorrow, and the smallest, 2.4 ft, on October 13.

Predictions for Scotch Cap come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1917 to 2009 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Cape Sarichef, 16 mi away, where high tide comes about 2 h 7 m later. For tidal currents, see Unimak Pass.
