The tide at Port Moller
Port Moller 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 10.5 ft, and 7.4 ft between the average high and the average low, a large tide. On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 0.9 ft and the lower low sits 2.2 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.
About this station
- High tide reaches Port Moller about 7.3 hours after the moon passes overhead. That lag is local, which is why high water does not line up with the moon.
- Highest water on record: 15.5 ft on Dec 10, 2021.
- Lowest on record: -4.5 ft on Dec 13, 2008.
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 Port Moller from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 10.5 ft above it and mean sea level 5.8 ft. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Sand Point, AK gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 9463502, a National Water Level Observation Network gauge, established 1960. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them. The observed line is the gauge's own six-minute water level feed.
