About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Herring Bay from the Juneau station: high tides about 0.84× the height, 8 min earlier; low tides about 0.91× the height, 7 min earlier.
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.
