NOAA has no gauge in the water at this spot; its times and heights are published as offsets from a reference gauge, named below. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Unalakleet (NOAA 9468333), 69.3 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 73 min earlier than there. The nearest weather station is St Michael Airport, an airport reporting wind, visibility and sky cover, but no water temperature, 21.0 mi away.
The tide at Pikmiktalik River entrance
Pikmiktalik River entrance has a diurnal tide: usually one high and one low a day, with the daily rhythm shifting about 50 minutes later each day and fading near the moon's equatorial crossing. This month's predictions average 1.2 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 Unalakleet and are referenced to MLLW there. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 9468011. 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.
