About the Tides at Cape Ninilchik

Cape Ninilchik gets two high tides and two low tides most days, both about the same size. On a typical day the water rises and falls about 17.2 feet.

The lowest water is -1.9 ft on Monday, November 9 at 9:19 PM, and the highest is 21.4 ft on Sunday, November 8 at 2:04 PM. A minus tide like that uncovers the most beach, flats and tide pools.
