The tide at Niyrakpak Lagoon entrance
Niyrakpak Lagoon entrance 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 2.0 high tides a day here. 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 publishes no datums for this point. Its predictions are offsets from Nome and are referenced to MLLW there. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 9468216. 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.
