Where False Pass, Isanotski Strait is
False Pass, Isanotski Strait sits at 54.8583° N, 163.4070° W on the Alaska Peninsula and Shumagin Islands, at False Pass, AK. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 2013 until 2014, and NOAA still publishes harmonic predictions from that record. There is no live reading here today. The closest gauge measuring live water level is King Cove (NOAA 9459881), 45.1 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 98 min later than there. The nearest weather station is False Pass Airport, an airport reporting wind, visibility and sky cover, but no water temperature, 0.8 mi away.
The tide at False Pass, Isanotski Strait
False Pass, Isanotski Strait 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 1.3 high tides a day here. The mean range from lower low to higher high is 4.2 ft, and 3.0 ft between the average high and the average low, a moderate tide. On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 0.3 ft and the lower low sits 0.9 ft below the other low. For the water around it: Tides here are mixed: 8 to 12 ft and semidiurnal on the Pacific side of the peninsula, smaller and closer to one high a day on the Bristol Bay side.
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 False Pass, Isanotski Strait from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 4.2 ft above it and mean sea level 2.4 ft. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Unalaska, AK gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 9462955, established 2013, gauge removed 2014. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
