About the tides at Southwest Iniskin Bay
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Southwest Iniskin Bay, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The tide range here is very large, about 12.4 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 14.7 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 11, with a range of 18.7 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 10.4 ft.
This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here in 2022 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Oil Bay, 7 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 3 m later. For tidal currents, see Iniskin Bay.
