About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Busby Island from the VALDEZ, Port Valdez station: high tides about the same height, 2 min earlier; low tides about the same height, 2 min earlier.
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.
