About the tides at Skagway
Skagway has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The tide range here is very large, about 14.1 ft on average. Water can come in faster than you can walk across flats. Check the time before you go out. That is larger than most Alaska stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 16.7 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 23.6 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 8.7 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 20.2 ft on November 25, and the lowest is −4.7 ft on January 23.
This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. It was established in 1943. The nearest other station is Taiyasanka Harbor, 11 mi away. For tidal currents, see Skagway Harbor.
