Where Popokamute (Kokokamute), Kuskokwim River is
Popokamute (Kokokamute), Kuskokwim River sits at 60.1233° N, 162.5004° W on the Bering Sea side of Alaska, about 10 mi south of Tuntutuliak, AK, in Bethel. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 2010 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 Unalakleet (NOAA 9468333), 265.1 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 61 min later than there. The nearest weather station is Quinhagak Airport, an airport reporting wind, visibility and sky cover, but no water temperature, 34.1 mi away.
The tide at Popokamute (Kokokamute), Kuskokwim River
Popokamute (Kokokamute), Kuskokwim River 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 1.9 high tides a day here. The mean range from lower low to higher high is 11.0 ft, and 8.3 ft between the average high and the average low, a large tide. On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 2.1 ft and the lower low sits 0.6 ft below the other low. 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.
About this station
- High tide reaches Popokamute (Kokokamute), Kuskokwim River about 8.9 hours after the moon passes overhead. That lag is local, which is why high water does not line up with the moon.
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 Popokamute (Kokokamute), Kuskokwim River from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 11.0 ft above it and mean sea level 5.1 ft. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 9466057, established 2010, 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.
