About the tides at Terror Bay
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. Terror Bay sees a mean range of about 11.6 ft. Low tide can expose a wide area, and the return is fast. That is larger than most Alaska stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 14.2 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 20.5 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 7.4 ft, today. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 17.9 ft on November 25 and bottom out at −4.2 ft on July 5.
Predictions for Terror Bay come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here in 2014 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Kizhuyak Bay, 12 mi away, where high tide comes about 31 min earlier.
