About the tides at Sea Otter Harbor

Sea Otter Harbor has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The pattern follows the reference station at Sitka, Baronof Island, Sitka Sound. The range is large, about 7.3 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 12.4 ft on December 24, and the lowest is −3.3 ft on July 5.

Sea Otter Harbor is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Sitka, Baronof Island, Sitka Sound: highs come about 4 min earlier and lows about 4 min later than there. The nearest other station is Sakie Bay, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 5 min later. For tidal currents, see Millar Rocks.

Predictions are based on Sitka, Baronof Island, Sitka Sound.
