About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for Fossil River entrance from the NOME station: high tides about 1.13× the height, 240 min earlier; low tides about 0.67× the height, 248 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.
