The National Weather Service forecast for Tuesday is heavy rain with E winds 40 to 50 mph, 47°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 8:14 AM and sunset at 4:52 PM.

Where Wooded Islands is
Wooded Islands sits at 59.8750° N, 147.4030° W on the Gulf of Alaska, about 23 mi southeast of Chenega, AK, in Chugach. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 2003 until 2003, and NOAA still publishes harmonic predictions from that record. There is no live reading here today. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Seward, Resurrection Bay (NOAA 9455090), 72.0 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 3 min later than there. The nearest weather station is Seal Rocks - Between Montague and Hinchinbrook Islands, AK, an offshore buoy reporting wind, waves and water temperature, 31.3 mi away.
The tide at Wooded Islands
Wooded Islands 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 10.2 ft, and 7.9 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 1.4 ft below the other low. For the water around it: Gulf of Alaska tides are mixed semidiurnal, two unequal highs a day with ranges of 8 to 15 ft.
About this station
- High tide reaches Wooded Islands about 10.0 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 Wooded Islands from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 10.2 ft above it and mean sea level 5.4 ft. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Cordova, AK gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 9454562, established 2003, gauge removed 2003. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
