About the tides at Thoms Point
Thoms Point has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The tide range here is very large, about 13.9 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 16.3 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 22.0 ft. Neap tides follow on November 2, when the range shrinks to 7.8 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 19.3 ft on January 23, and the lowest is −4.0 ft on December 24.
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 2001 to 2007 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Village Rock, 11 mi away. For tidal currents, see Found Island, 1 mile northwest of.
