About the tides at Taku Harbor

Taku Harbor has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The pattern follows the reference station at Juneau. The tide range here is very large, about 13.3 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 15.8 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 11, with a range of 19.8 ft. Neap tides follow on Friday, when the range shrinks to 10.0 ft.

Taku Harbor is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Juneau: highs come about 3 min and lows about 4 min earlier than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1921 to 1998 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Sharp Point, 8 mi away. For tidal currents, see Taku Harbor Entrance.

Predictions are based on Juneau.
