About the tides at Wainwright

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.2 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. Water here rises and falls only about 0.5 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is smaller than most Alaska stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 0.9 ft, comes on Thursday, and the smallest, 0.3 ft, on November 19. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 1.5 ft on August 4 and bottom out at −0.7 ft on March 25.

Predictions for Wainwright come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here in 2021 to set up these predictions.
