About the tides at Tigalda Bay

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.4 ft. The average range is about 2.9 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 3.1 ft. The next spring tides peak on Friday, with a range of 3.8 ft. Neap tides follow on October 9, when the range shrinks to 1.9 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 1934 to 2012 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is SE Tigalda Island, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 6 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Ugamak Strait, off Kaligagan Island.
