About the tides at Security Cove

Security Cove 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 8.5 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 12.9 ft. Neap tides follow on Saturday, when the range shrinks to 5.3 ft.

Security Cove is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Sitka: highs come about 20 min and lows about 24 min earlier than there. The nearest other station is American Bay, 7 mi away, where high tide comes about 21 min later. For tidal currents, see Cape Muzon, 4 miles south from.

Predictions are based on Sitka.
