About the Tides at Niblack Anchorage
Niblack Anchorage gets two high tides and two low tides most days, and they are not a matched pair. One high or one low each day is clearly bigger than the other. On a typical day the water rises and falls about 13.2 feet.
Over the next two weeks the biggest tides come on Monday, November 9, when the water moves about 17.5 feet. The lowest water is -1.4 ft on Monday, November 9 at 6:47 PM, and the highest is 16.1 ft on Sunday, November 8 at 11:36 AM. A minus tide like that uncovers the most beach, flats and tide pools.
NOAA works out the times here from its reference station at Ketchikan, adjusted for this location.
