About the tides at Shoal Point
Tides at Kanaga Island are mostly diurnal: one rise and one fall a day, with a slow change between them. The pattern follows the reference station at Adak Island, Sweeper Cove. On a typical day the water moves about 3.2 ft between high and low. That is smaller than most Alaska stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 4.2 ft, comes on Thursday, and the smallest, 2.0 ft, on November 19. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 4.8 ft on December 23 and bottom out at −1.5 ft on June 6.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Adak Island, Sweeper Cove, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Cape Chlanak, 12 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 23 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Adak Strait, 4 miles Ene of Naga Point.
Predictions are based on Adak Island, Sweeper Cove.
