About the tides at Tigalda Bay

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.5 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. 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. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 4.8 ft on December 23, and the lowest is −1.6 ft on July 3.

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 10 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Ugamak Strait, off Kaligagan Island.
