About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Halibut Cove, Kachemak Bay from the SELDOVIA, Kachemak Bay station: high tides adjusted +0.7 ft, 3 min earlier; low tides adjusted +0.0 ft, 5 min earlier.
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.
