About the tides at Tuktoyaktuk

Tuktoyaktuk has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The mean range is small, about 0.24 m, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 0.46 m. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 0.12 m.

Tuktoyaktuk is a CHS station with a live water level gauge. Predictions come from the station's own tidal analysis. The nearest other station is Hooper Island, 76 km away, where high tide comes about 1 h 13 m earlier. Canadian tide heights use chart datum, a level set low on purpose. Negative heights are uncommon.
