About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for Bear Bay from the Sitka station: high tides adjusted +3.7 ft, 18 min later; low tides adjusted +0.2 ft, 29 min later.

Alaska holds the country's most extreme tides: Inside Passage channels, Cook Inlet swings past 30 ft, and Arctic stations where the tide is measured in inches and wind setup runs the show.
