About the tides at Tutka Bay

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 1.8 ft. The pattern follows the reference station at Seldovia, Cook Inlet. The tide range here is very large, about 14.9 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. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 22.5 ft on January 23, and the lowest is −5.4 ft on July 5.

Tutka Bay is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Seldovia, Cook Inlet: highs come about 1 min and lows about 1 min earlier than there. The nearest other station is Sadie Cove, 4 mi away. For tidal currents, see Homer Spit.

Predictions are based on Seldovia, Cook Inlet.
