About the tides at Shaktoolik

Shaktoolik usually gets one high and one low tide a day, known as a diurnal tide. On a typical day the water moves about 2.4 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 3.8 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 5.4 ft, comes on Saturday, and the smallest, 1.5 ft, on October 10.

Predictions for Shaktoolik come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here in 2010 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Unalakleet, 37 mi away, where high tide comes about 14 min earlier.
