Today on the water at Cape Krusenstern
Today at Cape Krusenstern: high tide at 5:42 PM (0.6 ft), low tide at 8:24 AM (-0.0 ft). The National Weather Service forecast for Tuesday is sunny with E winds 20 mph, 29°F. Wind that strong can hold water in or push it out, so the real tide may run above or below these predictions. In effect now: Small Craft Advisory. Sunrise is at 10:00 AM and sunset at 5:13 PM.

Where Cape Krusenstern is
Cape Krusenstern sits at 67.0542° N, 163.3213° W on Alaska's Arctic coast, about 22 mi northwest of Kotzebue, AK. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 2011 until 2011, 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), 41.1 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 158 min earlier than there. The nearest weather station is Kotzebue Mxak, Ak, a shore station reporting wind and, at most sites, water temperature, 22.4 mi away.
The tide at Cape Krusenstern
Cape Krusenstern 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 1.5 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.
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 Cape Krusenstern from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 0.6 ft above it and mean sea level 0.2 ft. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Red Dog Dock, AK gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 9490571, established 2011, gauge removed 2011. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.

TidalMapMonthly tide calendar
🌊 Biggest flood tides at Cape Krusenstern this month: Nov 3, Nov 4, Nov 5, Nov 6, Nov 18, Nov 19, Nov 20, Nov 29, Nov 30. These spring highs push water up into the grass and over the oyster rock; prime for poling into flooded marsh for tailing reds.
🔻 Negative (minus) low tides at Cape Krusenstern this month: Nov 1, Nov 2, Nov 3, Nov 4, Nov 8, Nov 9, Nov 10, Nov 11, Nov 12, Nov 13, Nov 14, Nov 15 …. These drain the flats and expose the oyster rock, prime for sight-fishing and clamming.
