About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for Oil Bay, Kamishak Bay from the SELDOVIA, Kachemak Bay station: high tides about 0.77× the height, 75 min later; low tides about 0.83× the height, 76 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.
