Today on the water at Savoonga
Today at Savoonga: high tide at 4:52 AM (1.9 ft) and 5:36 PM (2.5 ft), low tide at 11:08 AM (0.3 ft). The National Weather Service forecast for Tuesday is chance rain and snow with E winds 20 to 30 mph, 38°F. Wind that strong can hold water in or push it out, so the real tide may run above or below these predictions. Sunrise is at 10:06 AM and sunset at 6:05 PM.

Where Savoonga is
Savoonga sits at 63.6791° N, 170.5371° W on the Bering Sea side of Alaska, at Savoonga, AK, in Nome. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 2011 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 Nome (NOAA 9468756), 163.9 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 165 min earlier than there. The nearest weather station is Savoonga Airport, an airport reporting wind, visibility and sky cover, but no water temperature, 1.2 mi away.
The tide at Savoonga
Savoonga 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 1.9 high tides a day here. The mean range from lower low to higher high is 2.6 ft, and 2.0 ft between the average high and the average low, a moderate tide. On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 0.2 ft and the lower low sits 0.3 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 Savoonga about 7.6 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 Savoonga from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 2.6 ft above it and mean sea level 1.3 ft. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 9468258, established 2011, 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.
