About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Bear Bay from the Sitka station: high tides adjusted +3.7 ft, 18 min later; low tides adjusted +0.2 ft, 29 min later.
Inside Passage waters are sheltered, but the ranges are real: 15 to 20 ft swings are routine, and narrow channels run strong tidal currents on the change. Out here, rain and channel weather matter more than ice.
