About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Jack Bay from the VALDEZ, Port Valdez station: high tides about the same height, 1 min earlier; low tides about the same height, 2 min earlier.
Prince William Sound ranges run moderate, roughly 10 to 18 ft, but the fjords funnel wind and weather. In the Sound, the storm usually matters more than the tide table.
