About the tides at Willoughby Island

Willoughby Island has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The pattern follows the reference station at Elfin Cove, Port Althorp. Willoughby Island sees a mean range of about 13.1 ft. Low tide can expose a wide area, and the return is fast. That is larger than most Alaska stations on this site. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 21.0 ft on December 24 and bottom out at −3.8 ft on July 5.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Elfin Cove, Port Althorp, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Bartlett Cove, 13 mi away, where high tide comes about 10 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Drake Island, West of, Glacier Bay.

Predictions are based on Elfin Cove, Port Althorp.
