About the tides at Sitka Dock
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.2 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Charleston, Coos Bay. The range is large, about 5.8 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 7.7 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 9.7 ft on December 24, and the lowest is −2.5 ft on July 5.
Sitka Dock is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Charleston, Coos Bay: highs come about 7 min and lows about 8 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1976 to 1982 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Empire, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 30 min later. For tidal currents, see Coos Bay entrance.
Predictions are based on Charleston, Coos Bay.
