About the tides at Surf Bay

Surf Bay has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The average range is about 2.5 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is smaller than most Alaska stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 3.8 ft. The next spring tides peak on Saturday, with a range of 5.0 ft. Neap tides follow on October 9, when the range shrinks to 1.8 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 from 2008 to 2011 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Green Bight, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 2 h 33 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Akun Strait.
