About the Tides at Skagway
Skagway 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 15.5 feet.
Over the next two weeks the biggest tides come on Monday, November 9, when the water moves about 20.2 feet. The lowest water is -1.8 ft on Monday, November 9 at 7:07 PM, and the highest is 18.4 ft on Monday, November 9 at 12:32 PM. A minus tide like that uncovers the most beach, flats and tide pools.
NOAA station 9452400 here measures the water live and reports its temperature. Minor flooding starts when the water reaches 26.0 ft.
