About the tides at Snug Harbor, Chisik Island
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 1.5 ft. Snug Harbor, Chisik Island sees a mean range of about 13.3 ft. Low tide can expose a wide area, and the return is fast. That is larger than most Alaska stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 15.9 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 21.3 ft, comes tomorrow, and the smallest, 6.1 ft, on October 19. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 20.3 ft on November 25 and bottom out at −4.9 ft on July 5.
Predictions for Snug Harbor, Chisik Island 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 1979 to 2024 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Tuxedni Channel, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 29 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Tuxedni Channel (South Entrance).
