The closest gauge measuring live water level is Port Moller (NOAA 9463502), 188.7 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 283 min later than there. The nearest weather station is Togiak, Alaska, a shore station reporting wind and, at most sites, water temperature, 24.5 mi away.
The tide at Black Rock, Walrus Islands
Black Rock, Walrus Islands has a mixed tide: two highs and two lows a day, but of unequal size, so one low each day drains noticeably 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 10.1 ft, and 7.3 ft between the average high and the average low, a large tide. On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 1.1 ft and the lower low sits 1.7 ft below the other low. For the water around it: Bering Sea tides are mixed, swinging toward one high a day in Norton Sound and Bristol Bay, and storm surge often matters more than the predicted tide.

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 Black Rock, Walrus Islands from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 10.1 ft above it and mean sea level 5.3 ft. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Port Moller, AK gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 9465182, established 1948, gauge removed 1986. The tide times and heights are published as time and height offsets from its reference gauge; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
