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 Sweeper Cove, Kuluk Bay, Adak Island and are referenced to MLLW there. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 9461292. 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.
