About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Menefee Anch., Prince of Wales Island from the Ketchikan station: high tides about 0.94× the height, 2 min earlier; low tides about 0.89× the height, 1 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.
