About the tides at Seldovia
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 1.5 ft. The tide range here is very large, about 15.5 ft on average. Water can come in faster than you can walk across flats. Check the time before you go out. That is larger than most Alaska stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 18.0 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 26.1 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 9.1 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 22.4 ft on January 23, and the lowest is −5.4 ft on July 5.
Cook Inlet 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 and air pressure. It was established in 1964. The nearest other station is Kasitsna Bay, 6 mi away. For tidal currents, see Seldovia.
