Where Buckland, Buckland river is
Buckland, Buckland river sits at 65.9755° N, 161.1250° W on the Bering Sea side of Alaska, at Buckland, AK, in Northwest Arctic. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 2023 until 2023, and NOAA still publishes harmonic predictions from that record. There is no live reading here today. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Red Dog Dock (NOAA 9491094), 136.5 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 158 min earlier than there. The nearest weather station is Buckland, Buckland Airport, an airport reporting wind, visibility and sky cover, but no water temperature, 0.9 mi away.
The tide at Buckland, Buckland river
Buckland, Buckland river has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows a day of about the same size, roughly 12 hours 25 minutes apart. This month's predictions average 1.9 high tides a day here. The mean range from lower low to higher high is 1.8 ft, and 1.4 ft between the average high and the average low, a small tide. On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 0.2 ft and the lower low sits 0.2 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 Buckland, Buckland river from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 1.8 ft above it and mean sea level 1.1 ft. The land survey datum NAVD88, the zero on topographic maps and flood maps, is 4.0 ft below MLLW here, so a water level on this page converts to NAVD88 by adding that amount. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Red Dog Dock, AK gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 9469677, established 2023, gauge removed 2023. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
