About the tides at Sitka

Sitka has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. With a mean range of about 7.7 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 9.9 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 12.6 ft on December 24 and bottom out at −3.2 ft on July 5.

A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It also reports water temperature and air pressure. It was established in 1938. The nearest other station is Olga Point, 14 mi away. For tidal currents, see Sitka Harbor, channel off Harbor Island.
