Where Massacre Bay is
Massacre Bay sits at 52.8400° N, 173.1950° E on the Aleutian Islands, at Attu Station, AK, in Aleutians West. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 1943 until 1975, and NOAA still publishes harmonic predictions from that record. There is no live reading here today. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Sweeper Cove, Kuluk Bay, Adak Island (NOAA 9461380), 434.0 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 21 min later than there.
The tide at Massacre Bay
Massacre Bay 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. For the water around it: Aleutian tides are mixed, with two unequal highs a day and strong currents through the passes.
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. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 9460150, established 1943, gauge removed 1975. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
