About the tides at The Summit

The Summit has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The Summit sees a mean range of about 12.7 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 15.2 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 20.8 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 8.3 ft, today. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 18.1 ft on December 24 and bottom out at −3.8 ft on December 24.

Predictions for The Summit come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1929 to 2009 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Entrance Island, 9 mi away, where high tide comes about 11 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Summit Island, west of.
