The tide at Village Cove, St. Paul Island
Village Cove, St. Paul Island 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 1.8 high tides a day here. The mean range from lower low to higher high is 3.2 ft, and 2.1 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 0.9 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.

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 Village Cove, St. Paul Island from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 3.2 ft above it and mean sea level 1.9 ft. The land survey datum NAVD88, the zero on topographic maps and flood maps, is 0.7 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 Unalaska, AK gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 9464212, a National Water Level Observation Network gauge, established 1977. 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.
