About the tides at Shishmaref Inlet
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.1 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. Water here rises and falls only about 0.8 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is smaller than most Alaska stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.0 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.4 ft, comes on October 11, and the smallest, 0.7 ft, on Monday.
Predictions for Shishmaref Inlet come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 2003 to 2004 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Cape Espenberg, 54 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 26 m later.
