About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for Menefee Anch., Prince of Wales Island from the Ketchikan station: high tides about 0.94× the height, 2 min earlier; low tides about 0.89× the height, 1 min later.

Alaska holds the country's most extreme tides: Inside Passage channels, Cook Inlet swings past 30 ft, and Arctic stations where the tide is measured in inches and wind setup runs the show.
