Today on the water at Tuntutuliak
Today at Tuntutuliak: high tide at 8:19 AM (8.3 ft) and 8:48 PM (5.0 ft), low tide at 2:00 AM (0.8 ft) and 3:30 PM (0.6 ft). The National Weather Service forecast for Tuesday is slight chance light rain with E winds 10 to 15 mph, 39°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 9:17 AM and sunset at 5:51 PM.
| Period | Forecast | Wind | Temp |
|---|---|---|---|
| Overnight | Slight Chance Light Rain | SE 15 to 25 mph | 35°F |

Where Tuntutuliak is
Tuntutuliak sits at 60.3415° N, 162.6860° W on the Bering Sea side of Alaska, at Tuntutuliak, AK, in Bethel. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 2021 until 2021, 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), 251.7 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 178 min later than there. The nearest weather station is Bethel, Bethel Airport, an airport reporting wind, visibility and sky cover, but no water temperature, 41.8 mi away.
The tide at Tuntutuliak
Tuntutuliak has a mixed tide: two highs and two lows a day, but of unequal size, so one low each day drains a little 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 7.6 ft, and 5.6 ft between the average high and the average low, a large tide. On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 1.5 ft and the lower low sits 0.5 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 Tuntutuliak about 10.7 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 Tuntutuliak from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 7.6 ft above it and mean sea level 3.7 ft. The land survey datum NAVD88, the zero on topographic maps and flood maps, is 1.5 ft below MLLW here, so a water level on this page converts to NAVD88 by adding that amount. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Port Moller, AK gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 9466197, established 2021, gauge removed 2021. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
