About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Beauty Bay, Nuka Bay from the Seward, Resurrection Bay station: high tides about 1.08× the height, 12 min later; low tides about the same height, 14 min later.
Upper Cook Inlet has some of the largest tides on Earth — ranges past 30 ft, powerful rips, and bore tides on Turnagain Arm. Winter ice can push actual water levels well off the predictions.
