About the Tides at Skan Bay

Skan Bay gets just one high tide and one low tide on most days, instead of the two a day many coasts see. On a typical day the water rises and falls about 3.8 feet.

Over the next two weeks the biggest tides come on Wednesday, November 11, when the water moves about 4.5 feet. The lowest water is -0.3 ft on Sunday, November 8 at 11:39 PM, and the highest is 4.4 ft on Thursday, November 12 at 11:07 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 Unalaska, adjusted for this location.
