About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Lituya Bay, 2 miles inside entrance from the Elfin Cove, Port Althorp station: high tides about 0.87× the height, 6 min later; low tides about 0.89× the height, 36 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.
