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. The range is large, about 7.5 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. The next spring tides peak on October 11, with a range of 11.8 ft. Neap tides follow on Friday, when the range shrinks to 5.6 ft.

Sea Otter Harbor is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Sitka: 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.
