Where Barrow Offshore is
Barrow Offshore sits at 71.3601° N, 156.7299° W on Alaska's Arctic coast, about 2 mi north of Utqiagvik, AK. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 2008 until 2010, and NOAA still publishes harmonic predictions from that record. There is no live reading here today. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Prudhoe Bay (NOAA 9497645), 196.5 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 12 min earlier than there. The nearest weather station is Utqiagvik, AK, a shore station reporting wind and, at most sites, water temperature, 3.1 mi away.
The tide at Barrow Offshore
Barrow Offshore has a mixed tide: two highs and two lows a day, but of unequal size, so one low each day drains a little lower than the other. This month's predictions average 1.9 high tides a day here. The mean range from lower low to higher high is 0.7 ft, and 0.5 ft between the average high and the average low, a small tide. On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 0.1 ft and the lower low sits 0.1 ft below the other low. For the water around it: Tides along the Chukchi and Beaufort seas are small, often under a foot, and wind and ice move the water more than the moon does.

- Lowest on record: -2.6 ft on Jan 29, 2010.
Datum and source
Heights on this page are feet above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero NOAA's nautical charts use for soundings. A predicted 0.0 ft low is the average of the lower low each day; a minus tide is water below chart datum, and a 2 ft high means 2 ft more water than the chart shows. NOAA fixes MLLW at Barrow Offshore from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 0.7 ft above it and mean sea level 0.3 ft. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Prudhoe Bay, AK gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 9494935, established 2008, gauge removed 2010. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
