About the tides at Zachar Bay
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 1.2 ft. The pattern follows the reference station at SELDOVIA, Kachemak Bay. Zachar Bay sees a mean range of about 11.8 ft. Low tide can expose a wide area, and the return is fast. That is larger than most Alaska stations on this site.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at SELDOVIA, Kachemak Bay, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Mining Camp, 7 mi away, where high tide comes about 28 min earlier.
Predictions are based on SELDOVIA, Kachemak Bay.
