About the tides at Turn Point

Turn 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 13.7 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 16.1 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 11, with a range of 19.4 ft. Neap tides follow on Friday, when the range shrinks to 10.8 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 1978 to 2006 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Petersburg, 1 mi away. For tidal currents, see Turn Point.
