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 27, with a range of 21.7 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 9.2 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 19.0 ft on November 25, and the lowest is −3.8 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 1978 to 2006 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Petersburg, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 5 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Turn Point.
