About the tides at St. Michael

Tides at St. Michael are mostly diurnal: one rise and one fall a day, with a slow change between them. On a typical day the water moves about 3.3 ft between high and low. That is smaller than most Alaska stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 3.9 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 6.5 ft, comes on October 31, and the smallest, 1.7 ft, on Friday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 6.2 ft on July 5 and bottom out at −1.9 ft on November 28.

Predictions for St. Michael come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. The nearest other station is Stebbins, 9 mi away, where high tide comes about 34 min earlier.
