About the tides at St. Matthew Island
This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The mean range is small, about 1.1 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most Alaska stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on Friday, with a range of 2.5 ft. Neap tides follow on October 9, when the range shrinks to 1.0 ft.
St. Matthew Island is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Village Cove, St. Paul Island: highs come about 6 min and lows about 29 min later than there. The nearest other station is Offshore St Matthew Island (Gnss Buoy), 8 mi away, where high tide comes about 2 h 37 m later. For tidal currents, see St. Mathew I., southwest coast.
Predictions are based on Village Cove, St. Paul Island.
