About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for Explorer Bay from the Sweeper Cove, Kuluk Bay, Adak Island station: high tides about 1.24× the height, 163 min earlier; low tides about 1.24× the height, 144 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.
