About the tides at Sumner Island
Sumner Island has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The pattern follows the reference station at Sitka, Baronof Island, Sitka Sound. With a mean range of about 9.9 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 15.2 ft on December 24 and bottom out at −3.2 ft on July 5.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Sitka, Baronof Island, Sitka Sound, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Reid Bay, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 8 min later. For tidal currents, see Sumner Island, east of.
Predictions are based on Sitka, Baronof Island, Sitka Sound.
