About the tides at Young Bay
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Young Bay, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. Young Bay sees a mean range of about 13.8 ft. Low tide can expose a wide area, and the return is fast. That is larger than most Alaska stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 16.4 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 20.9 ft, comes on October 25, and the smallest, 6.1 ft, on Saturday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 20.2 ft on November 25 and bottom out at −4.4 ft on July 5.
Predictions for Young Bay 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 1997 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Hawk Inlet Entrance, 10 mi away. For tidal currents, see Point Young.
